150906 A Halifax Landmark

Folklore: So...in Halifax in the 80's during a Canada Day Celebration, there was to be an novel aerial display. A plane flew over Citadel Hill and a parachutist jumped out. My guess is he would execute some display of Canadiana like a large flag unfurled or red and white smoke trailed from him. Whatever happened up there in the sky, his parachute didn't open--I'm not sure if he had a safety chute. He fell into the city onto this shed (in a previous owners my backyard), and bounced off and back to Earth. And he survived. So I'm told. That's why the shed is overall a bit crumpled, with a not original roof on it.

Can anyone confirm or deny this?
