Have You Seen This? Parachuter crashes into scoreboard at Virginia Tech spring game

BLACKSBURG, Virginia — Fans of the Virginia Tech Hokies football team likely expected some excitement during the team's annual spring scrimmage on Saturday, but likely not before kickoff.

What should've been a routine skydive to field landing was anything but when a skydiver crashed into the Lane Stadium scoreboard before the game.

The incident was tense for multiple reasons.

Of course, coming in with that kind of speed, you can almost feel the impact the skydiver hit the scoreboard with. Luckily, his parachute got caught near the top of the scoreboard, or else he could've had a frighteningly long fall after the impact.

Despite the severity of the incident, the university, in a statement on X, confirmed that the skydiver was "safely secured" and "stable."
