The air is filled with anticipation, tensions are running high and people are experiencing all kinds of feelings.

Something also often happens at these events, making it a truly unforgettable experience.

Sometimes, rugby players or fans get too excited and throw fists, or streakers make their way across a soccer field.

Recently, a rugby game in Toulouse, France was postponed for a unique reason.

A parachutist was set to land on the field ahead of the Champions Cup last-16 tie between Toulouse and Sale at Stadium de Toulouse.

According to BBC Sport, Captain Yannick Trouillet was supposed to deliver the match ball by parachuting through the roof but things didn't go as planned.

Instead of safely landing on the field, the Trouillet was swept off course and dangled from the stadium's roof.

Trouillet was stuck 30 metres in the air, and officials immediately started working to get him safely down.

Stadium staff and Toulouse's lion mascot gathered post protectors to place as a potential safety mat.

They also placed a large children's inflatable rugby pitch to provide further cushioning.

Watch the moment below:

The rugby game was delayed by 25 minutes but firefighters finally managed to save Trouillet from his perilous predicament.

One would assume that they won't be trying any other stunts any time soon.
