GOING VIRAL: Parachutist Hits Field Goal Net Before Falling into Crowd at Armed Forces Bowl (VIDEO)
During pregame festivities at the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl game in Fort Worth, Texas, where Texas State faced Rice on Friday, one parachutist crashed-landed into the stands after getting tangled in the field goal netting.
The pregame featured fighter jets and parachutists floating into the stadium.
Shocking footage from the stadium, which shows the parachutist coming down before snagging the net and eventually falling to the ground, is currently going viral.
The parachutist is reportedly okay.
Per WFAA:
Bowl season was in full swing in Fort Worth on Friday, as Texas State took on in-state foe Rice.
There were plenty of pre-game festivities, including a fighter jet flyover and parachutists dropping into the stadium.
One of those parachutists, however, had a harder landing than he probably would have liked. Video shared by San Antonio Express-News beat reporter Keff Ciardello showed one of the five parachutists falling to the ground. Bowl officials told WFAA the parachutist walked off on his own power.
This is the 23rd annual Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl, which is held at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth.
