The thunderstorm skydive team. Dana jacobson strapped on a parachute to see what theyre all about. A few years ago the Denver Broncos decided they wanted to upgrade their pregame festivities. They wanted something high energy, high speed, and high drama. Now minutes before kickoff from a plane circling overhead the four members of denvers very own parachute team take flight. Ready, set, go feel the thunder feel the thunder reporter from a sea of darkness. 5,000 feet over downtown denver. Streaking across the night sky. [ cheers and applause ] before igniting the 70,000 fans packed into Sports Authority field at milehigh. They are the thunderstorm, swooping into the stadium through a maze of crisscrossing wires at 60 Miles Per Hour to kick off Denver Broncos home games. This is everything for us. Yeah. Its all about the fans. And when theyre cheering, were fired up. Reporter the team trains an hour north at milehigh skydiving, where the average skydiver descends with a parachute twice as big and lands at a speed three times slower than the thunderstorm.

Reporter cofounder Jimmy Tranter never considered doing anything else, even after losing his mother in a skydiving accident as a kid. Even in the darkest moments it was never a question to me.

Now, how much faster is it when you guys are going into the stadium . Twice as fast, easy. Or three times. Degree of difficulty with this jump, where is it in terms of the world of skydiving . I think its one of the top one or two for sure. This is as technical and as difficult as it gets. Reporter this jump is complex. Because this is where we have to turn in order to get it steep and dive it down by the stands. Reporter but one little detail makes it perhaps the most difficult and most unique in the world. Tightrope a lot of people will look at the stadium and say its a big wide open field. But immediately as soon as we add the field goal cables, coming from all four corners and a 50 yard line cable, you actually have to dive small parachutes through this hole here. Its kind of Like Mission Impossible style. Its a dance. Four people working together, communicating without speaking. As far as risk, how important is it to have teamwork . Its everything. Youve got to be able to trust the people youre flying with. It is potentially extremely dangerous. Its really like parallel parking a ferrari at about 60 miles an hour. Thats what it is every single time. But i dont think you can actually do that, can you . Most people cant.
