Dozens of skydivers from around the world gathered in the skies above Edmonton, Canada to celebrate their beloved sport and set a new world record.
The event, organized by the Edmonton Skydive Centre, saw a total of 63 skydivers jump from three different planes at an altitude of 18,000 feet. This impressive feat broke the previous record of 56 skydivers set in 2018.
The skydivers, ranging in age from 18 to 70, came from countries such as the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom. They were all united by their passion for the exhilarating sport of skydiving.
According to the event organizers, the jump was meticulously planned and executed, with each skydiver following a specific flight path to ensure safety and precision. The skydivers also had to wear specialized equipment, including altimeters and audible altimeters, to ensure they were at the correct altitude for the jump.
The jump was not only a celebration of the sport, but also a way to raise awareness and funds for the Edmonton Food Bank. Each skydiver raised money through pledges and donations, with a total of $10,000 being donated to the food bank.
The event was a complete thrill for both the skydivers and spectators on the ground. The skydivers, with their colorful parachutes, created a breathtaking sight as they descended from the sky.
