Shocking bystander footage captured the moment a parachutist from the Navy’s Leap Frog team missed the landing zone and came down in the crowd.
A woman and a child were taken to the hospital.

idk maybe because they were laying down or smth …
Just stand there with your biggest gift-your Child-Golly what is wrong w/folks😮All that time
could have spent moving away -hope they are fineNavy go figure
I smell a lawsuit coming!
Plot Twist: He fell on her then fell in Love ❤🎉. Romance movie of the week..
How is it that you're there to see the people parachuting & you don't see one coming straight at you!?! In-freaking-credible!!
Why people blaming the woman? how about you don’t jump in high wind
Sense of awareness is strong
Negative on the survival skills
To not move is crazy. Everybody should have made a big circle😂❤❤❤
Any decency to move out of the way?
Common sense perhaps?
Damn … the large flag blew in the direction of the wind? Thats crazzyy … nobody could have seen that coming!
where is this? golden gate park?
Probably didn’t move, put blame on the parachutist and team. File lawsuit, win $$. Maybe she was dreaming for that to happen? 😂
*Dmb woman and child refuse to move out of the way of parachutist.
Desperately trying to start a family???
The fact that the mother didn't move away just to file a lawsuit drives me nuts. The child could have been seriously injured if the skydiver landed directly on the child.
October 7
Common sense you can see him coming just get up and move, lets not make something out of nothing ❤
Too windy
Survival instincts have left the chat
Oh my dumbbell
I'd say she didn't move because all she could see was money…as in a law suit..
I hope they are ok! Why didn't the mother move and grab the kid?😮
Can anybody say “lawsuit” that is a most unfortunate event. 😤😫☹️
She either wanted a lawsuit or has some of the WORST self awareness in the world
…And then ? What happened to the woman and her child ? Are we supposed to guess for the rest of our lives, ABC News ? 🤔
Beautiful.❤.
Que audaces, bravo, bravísimo, bravo !!!
🎉 Desde la CDMX 💯🇲🇽💖👣 Gracias
She didnt wake up and say its a good day for a lawsuit lol ..stuff happens its called an accident.. people dont know why she didn't move or maybe he was coming in to fast any maybe sh thought she didn't have enough time to move her and the children out of the eay maybe she just tried to cover them.. all this asuming.. Really
awas hei
for all of the people saying "how did she not see him coming," maybe she was changing a diaper? Maybe she was watching the kids?
So many hateful people blaming the mom for not moving when they weren't in her shoes. Skydivers fall fast. She had trust that these pros wouldn't land off. She wasn't expecting it and like a deer in headlights, she froze. This happens to people! You guys literally think she just chose to let a guy land on her? Have some common sense people.
And for the love of all that's good in this world, stop making everything political!!! Dummies!
This is exactly what would happen to me if I went to an air show.
😮❤
She’s like 💃🏻 it’s raining men hallelujah!
Wasn't he burning up?
@petergriffin… Thank you for the explanation, whole story.. re: gas explosion, deaths. I had no idea. I never heard it. Wow. How very tragic. And it affected my such a wide area. We can never be too careful, wary at events like these.. too unpredictable.
..
How tf do you miss a football field sized landing zone
To be fair. In the 1970's, my grandfather had a parachutist land on the roof of his Chevy as we watched an airshow. He was busy drinking beer and smoking as everyone yelled at him to move. He just waved them away then shared a few beers and smokes with the guy after he hit the roof. Didn't even scratch the paint. Definitely no dent, either.
You just can't teach common sense.
You can always trust the Navy…
The commenters blaming the people who got hit are wild. It's 100% the canopy pilot's fault. If you're that susceptible to simple target fixation, you have no business at a demo. You learn landing patterns before your first AFF jump 😑
Why risk God's life hanging in thebair being pushed by the wind?
Can't be sure where it will push you to.
Mother should be arrested ..child endangerment being that stupid to not get out of the way
Main character syndrome
The amount of bullying and whining in these comments from people who were not there is incredible. Mom might have been hemmed in. We have no idea. When did we get so mean?
Wha😮😅t a goof
Lol why am I laughing
