Overview
- Five All Veteran Group parachutists were slated to land on the field, with three touching down as planned, one diverting outside the stadium, and one becoming entangled near the south end zone.
- Video showed the entangled jumper briefly suspended around goalpost height before the canopy collapsed and he fell to the ground behind the end zone.
- Bowl officials said the parachutist stood and left under his own power and reported no injuries among people on the ground.
- Kickoff was not delayed and the remainder of the pregame program continued as scheduled, including an F-35 flyover.
- The jumper’s identity has not been released as officials review how the chute caught on a wire, and later in the game Rice defensive back Daveon Hook was transported to a hospital with no details on his condition.
