A skydiver was seriously injured when they made a"hard landing" on the roof of paper warehouse in Orange, Massachusetts, on Sunday evening, officials said.
The skydiver, from Jumptown Skydiving, had both their main and reserve parachutes become entangled during the jump, causing the person to crash-land on top of the Seaman Paper building in the Orange industrial park, Orange Fire Rescue EMS said Monday. Jumptown staff called in the crash just before 7 p.m., and later told first responders that the skydiver was"conscious and alert," officials said. While the skydiver's injuries weren't considered life-threatening, it took about 90 minutes for them to be brought off the roof of the building.
"Injuries were deemed to be non life threatening, however due to the mechanism of injuries and the extended on scene & extrication time a medical helicopter was requested," Orange Fire Rescue EMS said in a statement.
