The man, who, according to the reports, was a French soldier, descended quickly when the right side of his parachute was stuck on the roof. He was hanging about 50 feet on the crowd that came to see Toulouse assume the sales sharks.
Firefighters needed a long ladder to reach the paratrooper and rescue him safely. The man seemed unharmed when he was helped. The crowd began to encourage when it came to security.
Firefighters also received great joy once they could lower the parachute.
