Officer Injured Rappelling at Alamodome Football Game

During UTSA's "Salute to Armed Forces and Veterans" football game, a pregame demonstration ended in a serious accident. Four Army officers were rappelling from the Alamodome rafters when one officer lost control and fell to the ground. Medical teams attended to the officer for about ten minutes before he was taken from the stadium on a stretcher and transported to a local hospital.

The incident caused a delay in the scheduled kick-off for the UTSA Roadrunners' home game against the Navy Midshipmen. UTSA, holding a 21-20 lead at halftime, was preparing for their entrance when the fall occurred. Further updates on the officer's health were pending.
