Horror moment parachutist crashes into stadium roof as he desperately clings on before fire engine races to rescue him

Published on April 06, 2025 at 02:35 PM

A PARACHUTIST crashed into the roof of a stadium and had to cling on in terrifying scenes.

Toulouse hosted Sale in the Champions Cup.

And ahead of kick-off, three parachutists flew into the bowl of the Stadium de Toulouse.

The first two landed safely on the pitch.

But the third got their parachute trapped in the roof of the stadium as they misjudged the landing.

And they were left hanging on.

The seats below the parachutist were cleared for the safety of the fans.

Then video footage from reporter Charlie Morgan showed staff – including the fancy-dress mascot – carrying items to provide protection in case they fell.

Toulouse then moved a giant inflatable – used for a game before the match – underneath while a fire engine arrived on the scene.

Eventually, a ladder was hoisted out from the fire engine to rescue the parachutist, prompting a huge reaction from the crowd.

It meant kick-off for the match was delayed by 40 minutes.
