A Navy parachutist crash-landed on a mother and her teenager during a Fleet Week performance in San Francisco.
The accident happened Sunday at Marina Green after one of the six members of the Navy Leap Frogs parachute team appeared to miss the landing zone, according to KTVU.
Footage taken of the incident shows a Navy parachutist with a banner attached to him crashing into a crowd of spectators.
The mother and her child who were struck both suffered minor injuries, with the mother being taken to a hospital for further evaluation, the station added.
“Our thoughts are with the individual and their family. Safety is our number one priority,” the Navy told KTVU in a statement. “We cannot immediately assess what happened; however, we will review this incident to determine the cause.”
On its website, the Navy says the Leap Frogs have “performed gravity-defying demonstrations across the country in a show of the Navy’s exceptional skill.”
“Every member of the team has joined this performance group after years of real-world special operations work,” the Navy adds. “Comprised of active-duty Navy SEALs, Special Warfare Combat Crewmen, Divers, Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technicians and Aircrew Survival Equipmentmen, the Leap Frogs demonstrate best-in-class training offered by Navy Special Warfare.”

<p>The post was clearly a response to something American President Donald Trump posted earlier in the day. After revealing that he would not be able to attend the Boston event, Trump, who <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/canada-trump-trudeau-tariffs" target="_blank">plans to impose heavy tariffs on Canada,</a> continued to push the idea of Canada becoming the 51st state and referred to Trudeau as a "governor."</p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">

<p>The North American showdown truly was a nail-biter from start to finish. After a 1-1 tie in the first period and a 2-2 deadlock after the second, neither team could break through in the third. The tension was through the roof heading into overtime, where McDavid finally got it done at 8:18.</p><blockquote class="rm-embed twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none" data-partner="rebelmouse" data-twitter-tweet-id="1892797553990664280">
