SAMSULA, Fla. (AP) -- Wrestling aficionados may be used to ringside spectacles, but even the most seasoned fans here were taken aback when a skydiver landed on a beer vendor during the annual ladies coleslaw wrestling event.
Sherri Lee, 37, was carrying a tray of beer in a makeshift arena where women wrestle in a pit of coleslaw, unaware that skydiver Clarence Swimm was descending.
Swimm, 56, an independent professional parachutist hired by the Cabbage Patch bar, inadvertently landed on top of Lee.
"I didn't even see her. It wasn't my fault," said Swimm, clearly shaken.
Lee was hospitalized in serious but stable condition following her escape from the nosh-pit Wednesday.
She was one of several casualties during Bike Week, an annual celebration of motorcycles and leather.
