Unfortunate posture. On Saturday April 19, a man found himself hanging from the scoreboard during a match at Lane Stadium in Blackburg, United States. Emergency services had to intervene to get him out of there.
As shown in videos posted on social networks and relayed by the press, the man was brandishing an American flag when his parachute caught on the scoreboard.
Three paratroopers, three destinies
He was part of a group of three parachutists, and was not the only one to have experienced a problem. Their ambitious performance turned ridiculous due to strong gusts of wind. Thus, only one of them landed in the right place on the ground, indicates on its site the WDBJ7 channel present on site. Another parachutist finished his run on the ground, but on the adjacent training ground.
More fear than harm, fortunately, for the unfortunate parachutist stuck in the air. The emergency services managed to get him out of this trap after half an hour and without any after-effects. A sketch, all the same, as reported by a certain Jimmy on X. According to this Internet user present on the scene, two ladder trucks followed one another, one of them not being high enough.
