Skydiver unharmed after fall to the ground at Fort Worth's Armed Forces Bowl

A parachutist got caught up in netting behind a goal post and fell nearly 30 feet while landing during a pregame ceremony on Friday.

A parachutist jumping into TCU's Amon Carter Stadium in Fort Worth ahead of the Armed Forces Bowl on Friday fell to the ground after it appears their chute got tangled up in netting.

The skydiver was part of a veteran jump team performing before Texas State and Rice squared off in the college football bowl game.

Several videos shared on social media show the parachutist gliding into the stadium carrying a U.S. Navy flag when they suddenly got hung up on netting behind a goal post.

The parachutist's lines drew sharply backward just above the goal post, and they were suspended in the air for a moment before the chute collapsed and they fell about 30 feet to the ground.

Drew Harris, the director of the Armed Forces Bowl, said the parachutist walked away and that no one in the crowded area behind the end zone was injured when the skydiver fell. Harris said a second parachutist landed safely outside the stadium after electing to veer off due to the wind.

The jump into Amon Carter Stadium was being done by the All Veteran Group, a group of skydivers with more than 100,000 combined jumps who regularly perform at more than 150 events each year.

Mike Elliott, the jump team's president, said the winds were troublesome and that none of the jumpers were injured.

"Today, the winds were a little tricky, and one of the jumpers kind of got behind the power curve. He did the best he could do. He did not land in the crowd. He did land behind the goalpost, but without a scratch. He walked away," Elliott said in a post on Facebook. "Just want to let all our fans and spectators know that the All Veteran Group is 100%, no injuries and we're just happy to be here suporting the Armed Forces Bowl."

Three other jumpers landed during the pregame ceremony without incident.
