Warning, don’t try this at home! Argentine reporter Manuel Sanchez learn’t this lesson the hard way, breaking his leg when trying to replicate ​Cristiano Ronaldo’s career defining bicycle kick goal.

Manuel Sanchez fell awkwardly during his attempt (see below), and clearly demonstrated that he remains best suited to a career in Journalism. 

Sanchez, who works for Argentine news outlet Canal Doce, appears to ensure his safety by laying down a crash mat to cushion his fall; however, the only use it ends up serving was as a bed to later receive treatment.
