A bit of high-flying drama at the Croke Park Classic between Penn State and the University of Central Florida.

A parachutist was due to fly into Croker to deliver the match ball but missed his mark and ended up on railway line behind Hill 16 instead. Luckily for the parachutist the line was clear at the time, and there were no delays to commuters.
