A group of more than 100 senior citizens over the age of 60 attempted to break the world record by participating in a mass skydiving event in California.

Skydivers Over Sixty, as the group was called, made a successful mid-air formation, breaking two world records.

Skydive Paris, the Southern California skydiving facility that organized the exercise, posted photos of the occasion on Instagram, expressing gratitude for making the dream come true.

The jumpers created the snowflake formation on their fourth attempt, breaking the previous record of 75-way in Chicago in 2018.

“It was a big weekend for @p3skydiving as they set not one but two world records. SOS (Skydivers Over Sixty) was able to complete a 1-point 101-way on Saturday 4/15/2023, breaking the previous record of 75-way in Chicago in 2018. Then he thought why stop there? So they went back up and completed a 2-point 95-way on Sunday 4/16/2023, breaking the previous record of 60-way set in Paris in 2017,” Skydive Paris said in an Instagram post.

The next day, the group achieved a 2-point 95-way, breaking the previous record of 60-way in Paris in 2017.
