Have you ever wondered what it might be like to be a member of the Navy SEALs Leap Frogs jump team as they leap from an airplane high above Knoxville, Tennessee and skydive down into a football stadium below? Weird, that’s very specific of you to have wondered. No matter, because one of the SEALs strapped a GoPro camera to his head, and the result is a heart pounding first-person view of the entire stunt from start to finish.

Members of the U.S. Navy Parachute Team pulled off the awesome stunt earlier this month to help celebrate the annual orange vs. white Spring Scrimmage at the University of Tennessee. UT Volunteers football players go head to head each year ahead of the season, and it just so happened to be Knoxville Navy Week, so naturally the Leap Frogs had to crash the party.

OK, so they didn’t actually crash anything. This was a carefully planned and expertly executed stunt, and you definitely shouldn’t try this at home. Of course, now you won’t have to since the video embedded below will show you exactly what it was like to be there.

And in case you were wondering, white beat orange 70-63 this year.
