A veteran skydiver is dead after a stunt went horribly wrong. Fifty-five-year-old Richard Sheffield was part of a group of paratroopers hired to entertain a Tennessee high school's football game. For some unknown reason Sheffield began spinning out of control during descent and crashed to the ground Friday in full view of the screaming students. His para-trooping group said there was nothing out of the ordinary about his dive and his parachute deployed without incident.
