Overview
- A planned three-jumper display before Virginia Tech’s Spring Game went off course when wind gusts pushed one parachutist into the Lane Stadium scoreboard.
- The jumper hung from the structure with a large U.S. flag until firefighters reached him with a crane and brought him down.
- University officials said he was brought to safety and is in stable condition, and no serious injuries were reported.
- The start of the Spring Game, an intrasquad exhibition for fans, was delayed and then play continued.
- Rescue timing varied in reports, with Virginia Tech citing about 15 minutes and some outlets estimating roughly 30 minutes, a gap that could prompt tighter weather checks for future displays.
