Parachutist with US flag falls into tent in California; see video

A video recorded by an eyewitness captured the moment a skydiver fell into a tent in Folsom, California, last Thursday.

The skydiver, who had an American flag strapped to his body, appears to have clung to a tree before falling into a small tent.

The location where the video was recorded was verified by trees and power poles that matched archival and satellite images.
