The stunts which start most baseball games go off without a hitch almost every time. Almost

This time however, things didn’t quite go to plan when the skydiver who was parachuting in to build up excitement for this college baseball game didn’t quite stick the landing.

In fact, he landed on one of the players, and knocked him clean out with what looks to be a pretty decent technique for a dropkick. Mattingly Romanin, a player for the Hannibal Cavemen of Missouri, was the one who was hit, but he tweeted later that he was alright, and couldn’t believe that the whole thing had actually happened.

This other angle gives a sense of just how fast the guy was traveling. That has to hurt.
