A short YouTube interview clip where former Green Bay Packers running back Samkon Gado recounts his first attempt at the Lambeau Leap during a Sunday night game against the Detroit Lions. He describes being exhausted after a long, fast run, underestimating the fence height (middle ~3–4 ft versus the sides ~7–8 ft), expecting a ~5 ft fence but encountering ~7 ft, and needing help to get up — nevertheless saying he did complete a Lambeau Leap.

Chapters

My first attempt at the Lambeau Leap was was not until a few weeks later against Sunday night game against the Detroit Lions and I was gassed. I had run a long way and I had run pretty fast to get there and my legs were shot and I what I didn't realize is that the fence for the Lambeau Leap is not the same level and so at the middle of the field the fence is probably about you know, three or four feet but then on the sides towards the the ends of the, the, the ends of the field it's, it's probably 78ft and so I, I, I could do the Lambo leap thinking to myself it's going to be a five foot fence and it was like no, this is like 7 foot tall and I just had nothing left in the tank and I actually had to get pulled up so wasn't really much of a Lambo leap but it's still I could I can say that I actually did one so.
