Horrifying moment young Kansas City Chiefs fan falls head first from stands and is miraculously saved by star player
After supporters became a bit too boisterous, the Kansas City Chiefs game last week ended in mayhem.
Some supporters couldn’t contain their joy when the Chiefs defeated the Carolina Panthers in a thrilling last-second game.
Fans rushed to the tunnel to catch a look of their favorite players as the Chiefs players left the field.
When a young fan became a bit too excited, defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton once began removing his gloves to distribute.
The child fell from the stands onto the field after reaching too far over the railing.
Luckily, Wharton was just beneath the fan and seemed to catch him before he could fall to the ground.

The child fell from his seat, shocking other spectators in the stands, and they were captured on camera as he did so.
“Oh s***!” exclaimed one enthusiast.
As soon as possible, a stadium security guard arrived to keep the area around the departing Chiefs players under control.
“Return to your chairs! “Return to your seats, everyone!” he yelled.
“This kid just fell, back to your seats!”
Chiefs players were able to hoist the fan back up into the stands, and once he got up, he could be seen wearing a player’s glove.
On social media, fans expressed their confusion over the events that transpired at Bank of America Stadium.
“Kid almost had season tickets for life,” remarked one admirer.
Another admirer remarked, “Thank goodness Tershawn was there to catch him,”
A third admirer remarked, “Thank God he is safe and saved,”
“Nice catch, crisis averted,” wrote a fourth admirer.
