Being a Navy Seal means you’re a seriously tough b**tard. Sky diving is the least of their worries

For most people, jumping out of a plane is not something you get to do on a regular basis, but for the Navy Seals’ ‘Leap Frog’ parachute team, it’s nothing.

So over the weekend, they flew over Petco Park and marked the opening day of the season for the San Diego Padres with a parachute jump, and the whole thing was captured on a GoPro, just for good measure.

According to Bleacher Report, the jump was part of a ceremony to honour Marine Corps veteran Jerry Coleman, who passed away at the age of 89 in January and was an announcer for San Diego’s baseball team for years.

There’s one thing we’ll say about those folks over in America, they certainly know how to make a big deal out of a sporting occasion anyway.
