After 13 previous attempts, a group of 164 skydivers from across the globe broke the world record for the largest ever vertical skydiving formation on Friday. Jumping from seven different aircraft, all flown in pre-determined patterns and altitudes, the skydivers flew head-down and formed a giant flower before breaking away and activating their parachutes.

The Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (World Air Sports Federation) was on hand to verify the jump met the standards necessary to break the former world record title, which was set in 2012 by 138 skydivers. 

The jump took place over Skydive Chicago, a skydiving center located in Ottawa.
