Parachutist briefly hangs above end zone during Armed Forces Bowl pregame mishap

A typically routine pregame parachuting stunt went awry at Friday’s Armed Forces Bowl.

A parachutist appeared to briefly get entangled in the netting and support wiring near an end zone shortly before Texas State and Rice kicked off. After being momentarily suspended in the air, he fell to the ground between the end zone turf and the stadium seating area.

The parachutist was able to leave the area without assistance. Bowl game organizers later confirmed he was not seriously injured.
