A parachutist from Camp Roberts torpedoed through the roof of a Southern California home and into the interior of the house, authorities said.
The man, who was reportedly a British soldier in the midst of a training exercise, dealt with a chute that didn’t fully open before he plunged through the house in Atascadero just before 5 p.m. July 6, police said in a news release.
“The parachutist was conscious but stunned with complaints of pain but no visible serious injuries,” the Atascadero Police Department said in a recent news release.
“The occupants of the residence were not home at the time and therefore were uninjured.”

It’s amazing the damage to the house ,LOL
To: BeauBo
I wonder if the homeowner’s policy has a parachutist waiver.
Amazing he is alive; at least one piece of good news today.

Wow. He must have landed between roof rafters and then between the ceiling joists. If he had landed astraddle either of those, his hands wouldn’t be where they are.

… It was at that moment that he announced, “Honey, I’m home…”
But seriously, glad he’s OK.That could’ve been disastrous for him.

This is where I’d agree the federal government should pay for all damages. Even though British, he was at a federal military training school.

Is it CV related? Thought that was your main item since the wall stats faded away. LOL! Guess there’s no point in this guy buying a lottery ticket now.

I’ve got a kid that jumps out of planes for fun. (When he was little, he wouldn’t learn to ride a bike because it was too dangerous!)
So glad he’s OK. I feel for his parents.

Good thing he didn’t land on that dish rack. Those spike would have hurt the poor feller.
