Of all the ways you could get injured...
What was intended to be an eye-catching start to the annual Bike Week cole slaw wresting event at Sopotnik's Cabbage Patch turned scary this afternoon when a skydiver landed on a woman serving beer at the edge of the huge outdoor makeshift arena.
Sherri Lee, 37, of Daytona Beach Shores, was knocked unconscious when the skydiver landed on top of her at about 1:40 p.m. The collision occurred in front of a beer truck where she was walking with a tray of beverages. Within minutes a Volusia County Fire and Rescue team responded, and she was airlifted by helicopter to Halifax Medical Center at about 1:40 p.m.
"I didn't even see her," said the skydiver, Clarence Swimm, shortly after the accident. "It wasn't my fault."
Man, that would suck. Especially if you had to miss the cole slaw wrestling to go to the hospital...
