Navy SEALs parachutist face plants into wall before BYU vs. Wisconsin game

By Alex Butler

Sept. 16 (UPI) -- A Navy SEAL parachutist had a very rough landing Saturday before Wisconsin's win against BYU in Provo, Utah.

The first parachutist landed safely on the field at LaVell Edwards Stadium before the next one overshot the field completely. The second parachute sailed through the end zone and the parachutist smacked into the back wall, in front of the stands filled with fans.

A loud bang could be heard on several videos shot of the landing. The parachute draped over the first few rows of fans. At first, fans were concerned for the man when he landed, running up to check on his health status. Fans then started to laugh at the situation after they realized the man was not seriously injured.

Another parachutist landed safely on the field after the accident.

A Brigham Young University spokesperson told Fox 13 News that there were no injuries during the sequence.

Wisconsin won the contest 40-6 to move to 3-0 on the season. The parachutist who crashed into the padded wall was wearing a BYU jersey during the accident.
