Tuscaloosa Mom Anna Arsenault Falls Hard On CMT’s Broken Skull Challenge

Busy Tuscaloosa athlete and mom Anna Arsenault took Steve Austin's Broken Skull Challenge and left with a concussion. 

Making it past the first challenge, Arsenault and her opponent were set to take on an obstacle called "Loaded." The full description of the challenge is...

• Loaded — a dirt hill (120 feet long in season one, 160 feet in season two) has a 35-pound yoke with hooks on it at the beginning and three sets of weights (each set 40 pounds total for males and 14 pounds total for females in season one; sets are 40, 50, and 60 pounds respectively for males in season two) on pedestals along the course. Two contestants must shoulder the yoke then carry it to each set of weights, stopping to attach the weights to the yoke. They then carry the weighted yoke onward to the next set of weights. The one who carries the fully loaded yoke across a finish line first wins.

Arsenault jumped quickly ahead and raced to the top, hooking each of the weighted chain links with ease. As she approached the peak of the hill, just feet from the finish, the athlete lost her footing and hit the ground hard. In slow replays you see Arsenault's head hits the ground and the yolk comes down on the other side. She gets up, says her goodbyes to Austin and heads off into the sunset.

Arsenault later posted a picture of her injury on Instagram and Twitter.

Even though she didn't bring home the $10,000 in prize money, this Tuscaloosa mother of four lived up to her company name and proved to the world that she is MomStrong!
