A parachutist from Camp Roberts dropped through the roof of a Southern California home and into the interior of the house.
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. “The parachutist was conscious but stunned with complaints of pain but no visible serious injuries.” “The occupants of the residence were not home at the time and therefore were uninjured.”
The homeowner’s mother explained that there wasn’t much damage in the house after he came through the roof when he landed inside – apparently into the kitchen.
“It’s mostly the ceiling, the sheetrock. He missed the counters, appliances, everything.”
Everyone else in the jump landed at a designated spot.
The soldier was part of a British military unit.
