Skycam Crashes Onto The Field

The 30-pound high-flying camera nearly nailed quarterback Marvin McNutt and other Iowa players as they huddled on the field during the Insight Bowl in Tempe, Arizona. The camera, which rides above the field on cables, is one of the biggest innovations in sportscasting, delivery video game-like shots behind and above the players.
