two opponents locked in a fierce battle. one is pinned and he doesn't like the call. that's not unusual in a heated sports competition. but watch what happens next. >> bob lives in washington with his wife and daughter. he's caught on camera making a routine call one second. >> completely blind sided me. knocked unconscious the next. >> it was a wrestling match between calville high school and west valley high school. >> chad is on the left. his opponent on the right in black is west valley's. >> the hype of the match was

extensive. this would determine who the league champion was going to be. i think that both teams were undefeated at this particular point. >> both students are seniors and both weigh 190 pounds. >> it started out aggressive and shoving and things but not unusual for a wrestling match but didn't raise to the level of penalizing. more of just a verbal warning to keep it clean type of thing. >> at one point 17-year-old chad appears to gauge the eyes of his competitor. >> i didn't actually see it so i couldn't penalize for it but after viewing the tape it was pretty obvious so it was an aggressive match. the aggressive behavior is about to escalate. >> we're in the third period and he was on his back. what i'm looking for is to see that both shoulder blades are down for a two second count. >> when he sees the pin he slaps

the floor to end the round. he is not happy with the call. >> he jumps up and throws a shoulder against his opponent trying to intimidate him and i step in between and put a finger up and tell him back off. that's enough. that just cost you a team point and as i turn to the coach to notify him that he was penalized he head butted me in the left temple and it was lights out. >> he is knocked out cold. >> a paramedic came down on the mat immediately and said my eyes rolled back in my head and i quit breathing for ten seconds. >> it's several agonizing minutes for spectators and paramedics attend to west and then finally he comes too. >> i remember turning to the coach and then i don't remember anything after that until being raised up off the mat. >> west is eventually helped to his feet and the crowd cheers.

and there was a lot of out rage. >> he is convicted of 4th degree assault and sentenced to 30 days in jail a year of probation and 100 hour of community service. that's not the last time he'll have a run in with the law. in 1997, he is charged and later convicted of vehicular assault. west who works in law enforcement tries to visit him in jail. >> i tried to contact him and he refused to see me. >> 12 years later, in april 2008, he makes news again when he is arrested charged with felony domestic violence against his wife. he pleads guilty and serves 27 months in prison. meanwhile west says he will never forget that day in 1996 when command changed his life.

they thought. >> marshall says he was relieved he was able to keep his witts about him during the ordeal. >> i'm glad i was smart enough to move my camera to see it happen. it's incredible video and all toi over the country and the world. it's like catching a little piece of history. coming up a reporter investigation turns into an all out brawl. >> later news anchors dooped. wait until you see this, yo yo champ? when caught on camera, occupational hazard continues. if a denture were to be

when you're a television reporter, going live, you learn to prepare for anything. >> brandon lewis joins us live. now from columbia. >> occupational hazards can be lurking anywhere. >> most tested fuel additive in the history of the epa. >> even underneath your feet. brandon lewis is a reporter at wndu in south bend, indiana. but in his very first tv job at komu in missouri, not only is he wet behind the ears but just about everywhere else, too. it's june 2009. brandon is live reporting on ethanol in gasoline. >> my photographer was late that day so they told me to take the truck out to the location and set up the live shot so we decided to go to the gas station

for the morning show, and just use that as a backdrop for our story. the truck was in the parking lot and i was standing in a field between the gas station and bank. >> before going live, brandon and his photographer look around for obstacles. >> we always check for live wires, any sort of dangerous items and also things like sprinklers. >> but it's nearly 5:00 a.m. and pitch black outside. >> i couldn't see them because they were in-ground sprinklers that shoot out from the ground. they tossed to me like usual and i started saying the news, this is the noon news about ethanol. >> look over brandon's shoulder. the sprinklers turn on just seconds into his live shot. >> eventually i hear this sound, i couldn't tell what it was. will not harm emissions or harm engines. i really didn't think anything of it until i started hearing this tick, tick, tick, tick just start coming closer and closer and closer to me. i started hearing water. i assume it's the sprinklers but i couldn't tell where it was coming from. >> brandon's about to find out. live on television.

>> all of a sudden, i just feel the blast of water hit me. that was it. >> in the history of the epa, car concerns aside, researchers -- >> like a trooper, brandon doesn't let a little water get in the way of his story. >> i'm like i got to keep doing what i'm doing. i don't have a choice. i have to keep telling the news, regardless. maybe it will just hit me once and that's it and i can get out of this. at this point, i know i can't toss back to the studio because while i'm doing my part, the anchors are shifting to different parts of the set, the crew isn't ready. it's just me on air and i just took that step back just to try and get out of the stream of water, and then it came around a second time. >> while brandon's trying to keep his composure, his cameraman is scrambling. >> that's why the camera goes up and down, he's taking the camera back to try and protect the equipment. i'm sitting there trying to maintain composure and read the news and find out what's going on. >> when brandon finally tosses

back to the studio, all bets are off. >> brandon, you are a dedicated reporter. >> of course, brandon's station puts his morning shower online. >> our new media director comes in, sees the live shot and instantly, it's online. >> i think the sprinklers came on. >> and brandon's video goes viral. >> i could not believe the response that it got from people. i was in chicago the weekend after it happened and i'm in the line to get my ticket for the train and a woman comes up to me and says aren't you that guy from the sprinkler video? >> i'm a little wet but it's okay. >> it just goes to show you that no matter the job, there's bound to be a hazard hidden or otherwise. >> oh, i'm sorry, did i hit you? >> so if your job has you beaten up -- >> get out of here! get out of here! >> -- knocked down -- dealing with irrational types -- or complete yo-yos -- has you hitting a wall --

or has you run down, then you only have to look to the spanish for a little relief. believe it or not, this is spain's first national siesta championship. the country was once famous for shutting down in the afternoon so people could get a little shut-eye. now people spend the time shopping or working, not sleeping, so the competition hopes to bring back one of spain's oldest traditions by finding the country's best napper. the siesta is limited to 20 minutes, but points are awarded for duration of sleep, unusual positions and even eye-catching pjs. after all, the only hazard here is not wanting to wake up. as the hard-working folks in this hour have shown us, even an everyday task or situation can turn into one tough day on the job. i'm contessa brewer. that's all for this edition of "caught on camera."

a race car driver hits the wall. >> he's out! >> he's out. >> a kite boarder slams into steel poles. >> it felt like i got hit by a truck. >> motorcycle riders scrape the street. >> whoa! >> super athletes push the limits. >> i just remember hitting the horse. >> oh, man! >> and a huge amount of pain. >> daredevils goes for broke. >> i practically almost died
