15-04-2025 10:06 AM


Ammon News - The parachute landing was part of a pregame ceremony at the University of Arizona's Hi Corbett Field in Tucson, Arizona, during Arizona Baseball Military Appreciation Night on Saturday.

Video shared on social media shows one soldier donning an Arizona Wildcat flag descending rapidly before rolling over upon impact. A second man flying a U.S. flag then follows suit in another brutal landing while the concerned crowd is heard in the background.

First responders quickly transported the pair so they could be treated for their injuries, the Tucson Fire Department confirmed on X.

One of the men suffered a dislocated shoulder and the other suffered a back injury but both are expected to make a full recovery, university spokesperson Jason Corriher told USA TODAY on Sunday. USA Today
