Over 100 skydivers from across the globe and all walks of life, aged 60 to 78 years old, attempted a new world record for freefall formation in the sky.
Over 100 skydivers from across the globe and all walks of life, aged 60 to 78 years old, attempted a new world record for freefall formation in the skyOver 100 skydivers from across the globe — and all walks of life — attempted a new world record for freefall formation in the sky.
To challenge the record, divers jump simultaneously from five different airplanes and exceed speeds of 120 mph, joining hands and legs in a specific and predetermined order. They have less than 60 seconds to complete the figure, a breathtaking, 150-foot diameter snowflake, before they must float apart to open their parachutes safely. To succeed, every skydiver must stick to their preassigned position in the formation.
“It is an incredibly hard feat to achieve for any group of highly skilled skydivers, let alone when each participant is over 60 years old,” Skydive Perris said. The current Skydivers Over Sixty record was set in 2018 when 75 people connected over Illinois skies.
