I have a great respect for gravity so skydiving is not the hobby for me. For one Illinois skydiver, it's the ultimate experience until something goes horribly wrong. He's shared video showing how he saved his life when his wingsuit malfunctioned.

As of this writing (Thursday morning, 9:30), two hundred skydivers are still trying to set the World’s Largest Vertical Formation record at Skydive Chicago that they began trying to set earlier in the week. Considering what they're attempting, I can understand why it hasn't happened yet.

Winners in 10 competitive skydiving disciplines will be named National Champions, a selection of which will represent the United States at the World Meet this October in Australia.
