A member of a veteran parachuting group who was descending onto the field for the annual Armed Forces Bowl college football game Friday appeared to get tangled in a wire before plummeting into the crowd, according to multiple reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The parachutist, who belonged to the All Veteran Group<\/a> parachuting team, according<\/a> to the Houston Chronicle, was gliding into the Texas State vs. Rice game at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas, when the mishap occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The parachutist was one of several that jumped out of a plane above the field before the noon kickoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The All Veteran Group consists of active-duty service members and veterans who conduct parachute demonstrations to pay tribute to service members and raise money for nonprofit organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After the first parachutist made it onto the field safely, the Houston Chronicle reported, video shared on social media showed the second parachutist carrying the U.S. Navy flag briefly getting caught in what appeared to be a wire above the field, before falling into the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
