MILWAUKEE -- Two parachutists performing in the Air and Water Show landed on a rooftop on Friday afternoon on Milwaukee's east side.
The Milwaukee Fire Department told 12 News the parachutists got off target.
Landscapers working next door were the first to hear the Army Golden Knight parachutist hit the roof.
Neighbors coming home knew something was wrong as they could see him coming down.
"We couldn't see where it was going, so it landed on the roof and it broke a little bit of the gutter," witness Matt Price said.
"We went over there and said, "You OK?' He said, "Yeah, could you just get me down?' (I) Put the ladder up and said, 'Glad I'm not afraid of heights,'" witness Mike Bett said.
Both members of the Golden Knights appeared to be just fine, 12 News reported.
