Here's What It's Like To Parachute Into A Baseball Stadium
Padres fans at the 2014 home opener got a special treat when the Navy Parachute Team, the Leap Frogs, landed in the stadium.
The incredible directed jump was filmed via a mounted helmet camera. The Leap Frogs honored the late Jerry Coleman, a Marine Corps veteran and Padres announcer, by flying a special flag with his initials into the stadium.
The Leap Frogs are an all-volunteer team composed of active members in various branches of the Navy. The stated mission of the Leap Frogs is to demonstrate Navy excellence throughout the United States.
Below is a series of screenshots from the video showing what it is like to parachute into the stadium.
You start off by jumping out of the plane backwards.
