In a dramatic turn of events, a parachutist’s descent into the Stadium de Toulouse took an unexpected turn on Sunday, April 6, just before the Champions Cup match between Toulouse and Sale Sharks. Two parachutists successfully landed on the pitch, delivering the match ball, but a third veered off course, becoming entangled in the stadium’s roof. The tense moment was captured by Alistair Grove-White, showing the parachutist’s harrowing predicament and the subsequent rescue by firefighters, who carefully freed him using a cherry-picker. The incident delayed the match by 40 minutes, but fortunately, the parachutist emerged unharmed, to the relief and applause of the crowd
