Parachutist left dangling from rugby stadium roof after crash
A parachutist was left dangling from a rugby stadium roof after crashing in France ahead of Sale's Champions Cup on Sunday, 6 April.
Two parachutists delivered the match ball onto the pitch at the Stadium de Toulouse, but a third veered off course.
Video captured by Alistair Grove-White showed the moment of the crash and the subsequent rescue.
Firefighters raised a cherry picker ladder from the back of their vehicle to reach the trooper and detach the parachute from the roof.
The incident delayed the match by approximately 40 minutes.
