A member of the United States Air Force died on Saturday during a daredevil descent at a college football game in San Antonio, Texas. The serviceman fell feet first to the turf at midfield while attempting to abseil from the 170-foot (52-metre) high ceiling of the Alamodome during a pre-game ceremony.

The American Conference stated that the football game continued after the incident, noting that the decision to proceed with the match was made before the airman's death was known.
