That means Vick can shed the electronic monitor he’s been wearing while on home confinement in Hampton, Va., for the last two months of his 23-month sentence. Freedom also allows Vick to step up his efforts to resume his pro football career. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has said he will review Vick’s status after the former Atlanta Falcons quarterback completes his sentence.

Team officials identified the player as Maikon Bonani, 20, USF’s starting kicker. Bonani was working Saturday at the Skyride attraction. After sending passengers on a gondola out of the station, he thought the door might be unlocked and held onto the door to check it while guests sat on the ride. He held on as the gondola took off – then 35 feet above the ground – let go and dropped into a landscaped area, the statement added.
