Skydivers set new vertical formation record

A new world record for the largest ever vertical skydiving formation has been set in Ottawa, Illinois, by 164 flyers who formed the shape of a flower in the sky.

The group easily beat the previous record, set by 138 skydivers in 2012.

After only a few seconds in formation, the skydivers broke apart and landed safely on the ground.
