ELOY — Dozens of the best skydivers from around the world joined forces at Skydive Arizona and made skydiving history on Nov. 30, setting a 96-way “upright” world record on the second jump of the final day scheduled attempts.
In “Stand Together,” the international team brought together a set of skills, experiences, backgrounds and viewpoints to embrace different perspectives, styles and energy. The participants of Stand Together broke the previous record of 84, set in 2019 at Skydive Chicago.
To achieve the world record, the skilled skydivers loaded up in five planes and climbed to 19,000 feet.
