Paratrooper falls 15k feet with failed parachute, through house, and lives.

A British paratrooper crashed through the roof of a house in…. get this……….. California last week.

There’s no need to ride through town yelling that the British are coming.

The guy was doing joint training exercises. He jumped out of a plane at 15,000 feet and then his parachute failed to completely open. He went into a spiral and fell fast enough to break through the roof of the house and landed on the kitchen floor.

And……… he wasn’t seriously injured. He was taken to the hospital and treated for moderate injuries.

After falling 15,000 feet.

Nobody was in the house when it happened.
