A U.S. Air Force service member died Saturday night following a pregame rappelling accident before the UTSA football game against Navy at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. The incident occurred during UTSA's Salute to Armed Forces & Veterans game as four military personnel scheduled a rappel descent from the stadium rafters to the floor.
According to reports, the participant lost control during the descent, sliding rapidly down the rope and striking the ground with significant force. First responders administered emergency aid before transporting the service member to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries, where the individual later died.
