Mascot Head Struck Hard... Staggering Video Filmed While Laughing Aloud

There are various mascots at professional baseball stadiums, right.

They are cute, but the people wearing the heavy costumes in the summer must have a tough time. Did a spectator actually strike one of the mascots in the head?

Recently, a video was released on social media showing Raon, the mascot of the Samsung Lions, being struck in the head while passing through a spectator seating aisle.

In the video, Raon was moving with a lowered posture so as not to obstruct the spectators' view.

However, a man behind suddenly pushed the mascot's head hard, causing its neck to snap back sharply and its body to stagger from the sudden impact.

According to witnesses at the scene, instead of stopping him, the man's companions laughed and filmed the scene. When Raon went to find the perpetrator, the man reportedly remained seated as if nothing had happened.

In the end, safety personnel were dispatched and escorted the man out of the stadium.

Mascot costumes have limited visibility and considerable weight, so if the wearer suffers an impact or falls on stairs, it can lead to severe injuries such as neck fractures.

Netizens who saw the video raised their voices in criticism, saying, "Being a mascot wearing a costume in the dead of summer is an extreme job, why would someone do that?" and "It is normal to apologize even if you bump into someone by mistake."
