OKLAHOMA CITY—An Oklahoma skydiver delivering the game ball for a professional soccer match says muscle memory kicked in when his parachute malfunctioned in an incident he captured on camera. Herndon was jumping into Taft Stadium to deliver the ball for the Oklahoma City Energy’s game against Chivas USA. Daniel Herndon says he reached speeds of about 120 mph (193 km/h) before he deployed the parachute. It was his first demonstration jump into a stadium after skydiving for close to seven years. He says the deployment bag came out spinning, causing a line twist in the parachute.
