Olympic Pole Vaulter's Pole Explodes During Vault!

Whoa!

That's crazy!

That must've been scary and probably pretty painful.

Cuban pole vaulter, Lazaro Borges, was halfway into his vault, flinging himself upwards, when his pole suddenly snapped into three pieces!

He's lucky he still landed on the mat!

Check out the video (above) to see a crazy pole vaulting fail at the London Summer Games!
