Sky Brown on skateboard crash: Even Beyonce falls

Sky Brown, the 11-year-old Olympic skateboarding hopeful who suffered skull fractures in a recent crash off a vert ramp, chose to post video of the fall two weeks ago to send a message.

Beyoncé‘s going to fall,” Brown said, according to the BBC. “All your heroes are going to fall.”

Brown suffered the worst fall of her already impressive career after she lost her skateboard flying above the ramp while wearing a helmet. She was on her way down to landing on a concrete floor, 15 below, when the person filming dropped the camera to rescue her.
