An excited Panthers fan accidentally found his way onto the field in painful fashion

That had to hurt.

The Carolina Panthers will meet the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl 50 thanks to a heavy-handed beatdown of the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday evening.

As the Panthers poured it on late against the Cardinals, Luke Kuechly's late pick-6 sent the hometown crowd into a frenzy. As the linebacker sprinted along the wall, slapping hi-fives, one fan flipped over the wall in what looked to be a really painful fall.

The fan appeared to be helped off the field by security.
