S.J. Sharkie gets stuck - March 12, 1999

Prior to a game between the Detroit Red Wings and the San Jose Sharks, SJ Sharkie was repelling from the San Jose Arena rafters when his props got stuck in his rope. The delay was more than 15 minutes. Here is the clip from Fox Sports Bay Area's broadcast. No ownership implied, here for historical archiving.

sharkie is a friggin pro too, never took the head off kept the hockey gloves on too

[@eyy635]

jesus, the guy who goes on the rail to pull sharkies head from under the platform has no harness on, just balancing on a beam whilst pulling a suspended man toward him. If he fell that woulda been 60+ feet straight down on a sheet of ice. What a legend

[@cohara7516]

*She and *95 feet. Fucking guts-ey.

The guy with headband standing on platform with no ropes crazy!!!!

[@DARuiz1185]

I agree Whole heartedly more scary then how when Owen Hart (rip) died doing that stuff always reminds me of him and should be rehearsed lots of times !

No, they weren't. Everyone was legit terrified. He had to climb back up to the rafters.

NOICE!!!! Love my san jose sharks, this is one of the strangest moments ever in sharks history, or it could be the 1995 rainout vs Red Wings

[@cbjgirl23]

[@StarrPower2232]

@cbjgirl23 The announcers referenced the rainout and explained it in the video. Just listen to them.

and that, my friend, is why sharks don't fly.

[@tothjake94]

I'll see an opera when sharks fly. well, shit.

[@ellidione9385]

This poor guy is probably scared, but still has to maintain his “Sharkie” personality and wave and be goofy!

[@blitzkrieg634]

No way he acts like that if he's truly scared

[@sjsharksfangirl]

​@Blitzkrieg actually, the guy that played sharkie at the time has a fear of hights, so he was actually terrified, but didn't want to scare the kids in the stands

[@blessedchild2862]

poor SJ sharkie

[@princessmasen3690]

I love sj sharkie!

If they couldn’t hoist SJ up they were expecting him/her to drop at least 40ft and land on a mats that are the width of pancakes! From that hight those mats will look like a spec of dust 😲

Good thing the Commentators mentioned about Wild Wing Mighty Ducks of Anaheim Mascot and yep that one too wild wing had a big embarrassing injury for jumping through the fire ring and to me as a Ducks fan I feel sad for him also sharky as well You Red wings players quit laughing and show some respect!

[@ericrakestraw664]

If this happened today, everyone in the stands would be recording it on their Smartphone.

[@patricklewis4597]

There’s literally no issue with that whatsoever

[@kufijerry]

Yeah wow what a shame, we'd have even more angles of a classic moment, damn smartphones!

[@marraspink4431]

wow it's almost like people like to have the ability to record exciting and memorable moments in their lives
