LOS ANGELES — A skydiver plummeted to Earth in Oceanside, California, after his parachute malfunctioned, caroming off the roof of a house before hitting the ground — and he still survived the fall, authorities said.
The unidentified man is believed to be in his 30s or 40s, according to the Oceanside Fire Department, which responded to a distress call shortly after 5 p.m. Friday near Oceanside Municipal Airport.
Firefighters found the man lying on the ground between two homes in a residential area.
