One hundred skydivers in wingsuits proved they were true diamonds as they attempted to set a new world record.
The group, who come from 21 different countries, jumped out of five separate planes at 13,000ft above Perris Valley in Southern California yesterday, in a bid to enter the Guinness World Record Book. It is the first time a wingsuit formation skydive has been submitted to the record-breaking association.
Diamond in the sky: One hundred wingsuit skydivers fall to earth in a diamond formation during a world record attempt at 13,000ft
Record breakers: The team of specially-qualified skydivers flew more than two miles at speeds of up to 80 mph
Flying more than two miles at speeds of up to 80mph, the group stayed close together and managed to achieve this incredible diamond formation. Each member wore a wingsuit, which consists of fabric stretched between a skydiver's arms and legs and allows them to travel horizontally, as well as slow their descent toward the ground. |
