[Task & Purpose] It’s not completely unheard of for military paratroopers to land, well, not where they expected, whether it be in some nearby trees or on someone’s kitchen floor. And a recent video making the rounds on social media adds one more unlikely landing to the list: Directly on someone’s second-story balcony.
A video shared online this week shows a German paratrooper who was participating in this year’s Leapfest — an international competition for U.S. and foreign military service members. The competition was held in Rhode Island this year, and teams were tasked with jumping from a CH-47 Chinook helicopter from 1,500 feet to a drop zone on a privately owned farm. |
