That's one way to get impaled by your own tibias. Hopefully the forthcoming updates have some positive news to report.

Update

It was military appreciation night. There were 5 paratroopers, 3 with flags. The soldier who flew with the U of AZ flag had 24,000 jumps! I believe the soldier with that USA flag had more than that. It was a very windy day with 30mph winds. I'm quite sure they handled many complex missions with windy conditions. One walked away with an arm injury; the other was put on a gurney. 

2nd update
One paratrooper sustained a shoulder injury and the other a back injury. Both are expected to fully recover.
