A HECTIC moment showed a parachutist getting caught in the field goal netting and falling into a crowd at a college football game.
The horrifying spectacle took place at the Armed Forces Bowl between Rice and Texas State on Friday.
The scene happened just before kickoff in the contest, where five parachutists were due to land on the field.
However, per video and reports, only three safely landed in the stadium, with one landing outside the stadium.
The fifth parachutist was captured on video in a terrifying scene, as he flew straight into the field goal net cable.
The parachute was then tangled and left him suspended at the same height as the top of the goalposts, which is 35 feet, for several seconds.
Suddenly, the parachute came loose, and he plunged to the ground.
Numerous videos showed the man appearing to tumble between the endzone and the portion of the field that separates the stands from the field.
He was then helped by bystanders.
No injuries took place from the incident among those who were standing on the ground, and the parachutist is OK, a spokesperson for the Armed Forces Bowl told USA Today Sports.
