Snowboarder crashes into sheep at Russian resort

Feb. 23 (UPI) -- A Russian snowboarders helmet camera was rolling when his downhill run was brought to an end by an unexpected collision with a wandering sheep.

A video posted to YouTube by Shevchenko Kirill shows his helmet-cam footage from a downhill run at a ski resort in Arkhyz, a village in southeast Russia.

Kirill's trip down the hill is initially uneventful, until he attempts to go through a group of trees.

The snowboarder appears to notice too late that he is headed straight toward the sheep, which sends him crashing to the ground.

Kirill is able to get back up, untangle himself from the apparently uninjured sheep, and continue down the hill.

The video ends with Kirill removing his snowboard while laughing about the experience.
