A Navy special warfare sailor, part of the U.S. Navy’s parachute team “Leap Frogs,” was injured during the Duluth Air and Aviation Expo in Minnesota on Saturday when a parachute stunt went awry. The sailor is reported to be in stable condition at a local hospital and expected to make a full recovery.
  

Key Points: 

  1. The accident occurred during a stunt where two jumpers were attached at the feet to each other, separated mid-air and one of them hit the ground hard.
  2. The Navy has not disclosed the specifics of the sailor’s injuries nor his rank, citing privacy regulations.
  3. The mishap, which took place at about 2 p.m. local time, led to a temporary pause of the airshow, with the sailor being airlifted to a hospital.
  4. The “Leap Frogs” team is comprised of SEALs, special warfare combatant-craft crewmen, explosive ordnance disposal technicians and aircrew survival equipmentmen.
  5. Naval Special Warfare Command praised the immediate response of the event staff and emergency medical teams.
