The skies above [Insert Location] have become the stage for a dramatic world record challenge, as an international assembly of elite skydivers began their bid to achieve the Guinness World Record for the Largest Canopy Relative Work (CRW) Formation at a massive 107 ways.
Following a successful two-day training phase that perfected a complex 64-way formation, the team launched its first official attempts this morning, aiming to surpass the current record of 100 people linked under their fully deployed parachutes.
Canopy Relative Work, often called “Canopy Stacking,” is considered the ultimate team challenge in skydiving. It demands that participants exit multiple aircraft, fly their deployed parachutes in tight proximity, and physically link their feet to the canopies directly below them, forming a giant, synchronized structure high above the ground.
The jump requires micro-precision and flawless coordination from every single participant. The 107-way target requires all skydivers to be linked simultaneously within a very narrow altitude window, allowing only seconds for the complete structure to form before the mandatory separation altitude. The 64-way starburst we completed yesterday was the final confirmation that we have the skill and the synchronization. Now, we are pushing the boundaries of what is humanly and technically possible.
The event, which is drawing major attention from the global aerospace and adventure sports communities, is also a testament to extreme safety protocols. Coordinating 107 people descending simultaneously requires meticulously planned aircraft paths, staggered deployment sequences, and precise separation plans to ensure every jumper lands safely.
If successful, the 107-way formation will stand as a monumental achievement in aviation history, symbolizing the power of human collaboration and the relentless pursuit of perfection in the world’s most high-stakes environments. The team will continue making attempts over the next several days until the formation is successfully linked, documented, and officially verified.
