Hi.

I’m sketchy on the details because it was a while ago, and maybe some FReepers here can add more details.

The Golden Knights, I believe it was Ft. Hood, TX where the training was conducted, were practicing a jump. One of the soldiers couldn’t link up, and had to abort. He was about 3000’ when he experienced a streamer. Back up got caught in the streamer.

Don’t remember the estimated velocity he was traveling, but he went through a hanger window on the roof and his “chute” caught the hanger window.

He stopped three feet from the floor of the hanger.

He went back to duty six months later.

5.56mm
