A Colorado Buffaloes fan's celebrations took a scary turn on Saturday after he found himself trapped underneath the goal posts.
Deion Sanders' team improved to 3-4 overall with a 24-17 victory over the 21st-ranked Iowa State Cyclones on Saturday.
The home win, which the head coach described as 'vital,' sparked wild celebrations from the Buffaloes fans at Folsom Field.
The crowds spilled out from the stands and stormed onto the field to toast their team's triumph but one supporter's celebrations ended in pain.
As he rushed onto the turf, Folsom Field's goal post came crashing down knocking him to the ground.
In terrifying scenes, the student got trapped underneath the post with its weight bearing down on him.

With the post pinning his right arm to his body, the fan was unable to lift the upright off him as he scrambled to free himself.
Other fans eventually noticed his struggles and came to his rescue before he ended up trampled underneath the stampede. They managed to lift the post up enough for the fan to slide out from underneath.
The supporter may not be the only casualty of the field invasion either, as conferences are cracking down on students rushing the field.
'Is it a fine?' Sanders asked after the game. 'Come on, man. That ain't right. ... I want to see the kids rush the field. I absolutely love it.'
A crowd began gathering near the railing of the end zone with 'Colorado' printed along the sloped bank as the clocked approached zero. The public-address announcer warned the fans that entering the field could result in a fine for the school and possibly arrests for them.
But when quarterback Kaidon Salter took a final knee to end the game, the crowd headed toward the midfield logo.
'I mean, hats off to our security team. They do a good job ushering me in (to the locker room),' said Sanders, who notched his second win over an AP Top 25 team since taking over in Boulder. 'But I love to see it. I really do.'
Sanders noted the school lowered the goalpost so it didn't go home as a souvenir.

'What are you going to do with the field goal if you take it down anyway? What are you going to do with it?' Sanders said. 'Put it in your front yard? Your frat house? Then you´re telling on yourself. I don´t understand that, but I love it.'
Two weeks ago at Folsom Field, fans directed expletives and religious slurs toward Mormons as BYU beat Colorado 24-21. The school was issued a $50,000 fine, along with Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark condemning the chants.
Sanders apologized, too, saying at the time: 'Our student body, our kids are phenomenal, so don´t indict us just based on a group of young kids that probably was intoxicated and high simultaneously.'
Last November, the Big 12 fined Arizona State $25,000 and issued a reprimand following a premature field storming by ASU's fans that took roughly 15 minutes to clear before BYU heaved a final Hail Mary that fell incomplete.
Colorado received a $25,000 fine last season when the crowd rushed the field during an overtime win over Baylor in a game where the Buffaloes tied it up on a Hail Mary.
