"Also, two tubas were destroyed."

A parachutist landing at Fort Riley's opening/review for the First Division landed in the band, four injured. Scanning YouTube now.

Oh noes, not the tubas! Won't someone please think of the low brass?

lol.

Now I'm wondering how fast the parachutist was going when he impacted... tubas are fairly hardy instruments.

Well, at least one leg got broken among the band members, so presumably there was some significant impact speed involved. OTOH, you can destroy a tuba by dropping it from a meter if it lands wrong.

Was he wearing a Cal uniform and carrying a several times lateraled on the way down football?
