Oh My Word: A Cheering Crowd Fell Onto Concrete After A Railing Gave Way At A Sydney Rugby Game

Dozens of spectators at a Sydney rugby game fell the ground yesterday after a barricade collapsed. The footage is a lot. The crowd was watching a game between St Ignatius and St Josephs at Leichhardt Oval when the incident happened. Moments after St Josephs scored, the audience can be seen cheering before the railing gives way and dozens of spectators fall to the ground. Onto a concrete path. The part of the crowd is elevated from the ground in an upper-level standing area, with some dropping face-first onto the cement. Paramedics treated people at the scene, and luckily no one was seriously hurt. It’s quite shocking to watch — Ryan “Fitzy” Fitzgerald posted the scene to his Twitter:
