Video Catches The Terrifying Moment A Skydiver Slams Into Scoreboard During Virginia Tech Football Game

This was probably terrifying to watch in real-time.

On Saturday, a skydiver made a crash landing into the Virginia Tech football team’s scoreboard.

The skydiver was hired as part of the pregame entertainment for the Hokies’ annual Spring game, but things turned south after the stuntman crashed into the giant scoreboard at Lane Stadium.

The New York Post reported more on the accident and how the terrifying crash occurred:

A parachuter slammed into Virginia Tech’s scoreboard, leaving the stuntman dangling high above a shocked crowd and delaying the school’s spring game Saturday afternoon.

Terrifying footage shows two parachuters with American flags attached to them, gliding across Virginia Tech’s home football stadium, Lane Stadium.

The two dare devils appeared to be on the same flight trajectory — with the first parachuter, carrying a smaller flag, flying over the video board safely.

The second parachuter, however, appeared to have caught some wind on their descent, causing a dramatic collision right into the massive C of “Tech.”
