M’sian paratrooper crash lands on woman in viral clip
In the 24-second clip that has been making rounds on social media, it showed the paratrooper descending from the sky, where he was several feet above the ground.
As he neared the ground, the paratrooper tried to pull off a smooth landing but failed to do so, leading him to collide into a woman who was riding a motorcycle and knocking her off from the vehicle.
The clip then ends with several bystanders rushing over and checking on both the paratrooper and woman following the collision.
In the caption, the OP jokingly said the woman could now tell others that her life partner had “dropped” down from the sky out of nowhere.
Crash landing caused by winds
According to FMT, the incident occurred in the Tanjung Bidara area during the Eagle Swift Free Fall parachute exercise series on Sunday (Feb 16).
The English news portal also reported that the corporal from the 18th Battalion of the Royal Malay Regiment was nearing the landing zone at Terendak Camp when he was taken off course due to a change in wind direction.
Checks by the airstrip landing zone’s recovery team later found that the woman was unhurt and left the scene before her details could be taken.
As for the paratrooper, he sustained minor injuries and was taken to the Terendak Camp hospital for treatment.
