What was supposed to be a bucket list experience at the Toronto Raptors exhibition game in Edmonton quickly turned into one a Leduc woman is trying to forget.
Margaret Dirsa, 71, and her daughter were looking forward to going to Rogers Place to see the Raptors take on the Utah Jazz on Sunday, Oct. 2.
"We were two rows up," Dirsa told CTV News Edmonton. "We were on one end and we could see the entire basketball court and we weren't that far from where the backboard was. We had perfect vision."
"This was on her (my daughter's) bucket list," Dirsa said.
The pair settled into their seats as the basketball teams were warming up when the unthinkable happened.
"The chair I was sitting on collapsed, sending me backwards where my head hit the cement behind me, and the chair arm hit me in the rib area," Dirsa recalled.
"I think I was in shock," she added.
