The parachutist tried to land on the lawn, where the players were already standing ready for the opening whistle, but he managed it only with great difficulty. He almost finished in the stands among the spectators, but he still managed to get into the air and land relatively safely on the lawn.
The organizers then took him out of the stadium. According to the SID agency, the activist damaged the technical equipment of the ARD television station during the landing and injured the lighting fixture, which had to seek treatment.
Among other things, he had an inscription on the parachute: Kick out oil.
