Raw: Parachute Plunge

September 08, 2009

What was supposed to be a highlight of a Labor Day event in Hooper, Utah turned out to be nightmare. A powered parachute that was flying over the event to drop candy to the kids encountered some unexpected winds.One witness said it looked like a bowling ball hitting the crowd.Six people, including several children, were hurt.Two girls were flown to a hospital while the four others were transported by ground.Fortunately none of their injuries appear to be life-threatening.The pilot and his 17-year-old passenger were not hurt.
