Cavs cruise past Raptors in playoff debut for Harden
A parachuter crashed into the scoreboard at Virginia Tech's spring football game due to windy conditions. Emergency personnel rescued the individual, who was reported to be in stable condition after the incident.
A person parachuting into Virginia Tech's Saturday spring football game accidentally got stuck on the scoreboard in a botched landing attempt. The terrifying video shows windy conditions blowing this parachuter into the Lane Stadium scoreboard, where they were stuck until they were rescued by emergency personnel in a crane. Thankfully, the parachuter was secure and in stable condition after the collision, per Virginia Tech. This could have been a disaster, so this bizarre scene at least has a happy ending. We cannot fathom being in a parachute and landing on a football stadium scoreboard. Heck, we can't even fathom being in a parachute period. How scary.
First parachuter of the day came in hot, landing on the field pretty steep. Looking at the flags, there's a decent wind out there. They're lifting a crane from the road behind the stadium to get him. #Hokies
