Mid-Air Tangle: Sri Lankan Paratroopers' Rehearsal Turns into Harrowing Crash-Landings"


A distressing incident took place during a rehearsal for a display in Sri Lanka's capital, Colombo, on January 30. Footage captured the moment when two Sri Lankan paratroopers collided and became entangled in each other's parachutes, resulting in a rapid descent back to the ground near Galle Face Green. Shocked onlookers gasped as the pair crash-landed on the roof of a building.

In another incident on the same day, two different paratroopers also experienced a mid-air entanglement. One of them, perilously low to the ground, failed to deploy his parachute in time and hit the ground with significant force. Concerned colleagues rushed to his aid, assisting him as he lay injured on the ground.

The injured paratrooper managed to roll onto his side and then onto all fours, before his fellow paratroopers carefully placed him on his back and proceeded to remove him from the harness. The entire incident was met with shock and concern from the witnessing crowd.
