Watch as a A pregame parachuting demonstration at the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl took a frightening turn just moments before kickoff when one parachutist became entangled in the field-goal netting and fell approximately 35 feet to the turf. Officials say that Five parachutists were scheduled to land on the field ahead of the Rice vs. Texas State matchup in Fort Worth, Texas. However, reports indicate that only three landed safely in their intended locations. One parachutist was caught in the netting above the end zone, while another reportedly touched down outside the stadium. According to the officials the parachutist who fell was able to stand up and walk off the field under his own power. No serious injuries have been reported at this time. ]]> Sat 03 Jan 2026 09:33:00 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1608935/terrible-parachute-gets-caught-in-field-goal-netting-jumper-crashes-35-feet-to-the-ground/
