Overview
- The pregame jump was performed by the All Veteran Group, with five parachutists slated to land on the field at Amon G. Carter Stadium.
- Three landed on the turf, one diverted outside the stadium, and one snagged a cable near the south end zone and fell after briefly hanging near the top of the uprights.
- Armed Forces Bowl media director Drew Harris said the parachutist stood up and left under his own power and no spectators were injured.
- Jump team president Mike Elliott attributed the mishap to challenging winds and said none of the jumpers were injured.
- Ceremonies and kickoff proceeded on time, and officials did not immediately release the parachutist’s identity.
