BLACKSBURG, Va. (WRIC) -- Pasha Palanker, the skydiver who crashed into a scoreboard before a Virginia Tech football game on Saturday, has taken to social media to speak about the experience. Palanker was originally scheduled to land on the field at Lane Stadium on Saturday, April 18, but instead hit into the scoreboard, eventually getting stuck for around 30 minutes before rescue teams were able to get him down. He posted to his Instagram account on Monday, April 20, detailing the incident from his perspective, explaining how his decision making changed in the moment and how he views the detour as a good lesson about dealing with adversity: The impact knocked the air out of me. For a second… nothing.No sound. No breath.Just me… hanging from the jumbotron. Then it hit me. I looked down.Long way down. And the same wind that slammed me into that structure… could take me off it just as fast. I’ve been here before.Moments where the outcome isn’t guaranteed. Combat teaches you something,not how to be fearless… but how to function anyway. So I went to work. Click here to read Palanker's full account of the experience. ...read more read less
