Mad Skies

Record breaking 80+ formation. Two jumps were made in an attempt to set a new world record in the parachuting sport of “canopy formation”. The historic 81 and 85 person jumps were planned by a group called CF World Record 2005. The skydivers secured themselves to each other by wrapping their feet around the lines of the parachutes below them creating this wonderful parachute diamond.

You have to appreciate the elderly when they take on extreme sports. Of course, sometimes the do come a bit unprepared and can’t quite really seem to hang on to their teeth.
