"Skydiving Team Shatters HALO Jump Record in Thrilling New Mexico Video"

Larry Connor, a 73-year-old private astronaut, and a team of four U.S. Air Force specialists have set a new record for the highest HALO (high altitude, low open) formation skydive by jumping from a balloon at 38,000 feet in the air over New Mexico. They linked arms while freefalling at speeds of up to 189 miles per hour before deploying their parachutes at 4,000 feet above the ground. The jump was validated by an official observer from Guinness World Records and served as a fundraising goal of $1 million for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation.

Skydiver's Epic Landing on Inflatable Unicorn

A daredevil skydiver in the UK, Jan Zackl, successfully landed on an inflatable unicorn pool toy during an event in Langar, Nottinghamshire. The floatie was positioned on a slip-and-slide styled platform, and Zackl executed a high-speed turn before lining up with the makeshift landing strip. He shouted "I'm coming for ya" before making a perfect landing, receiving applause and cheers from the crowd. Zackl expressed his excitement on Facebook, thanking Skydive Langar for the opportunity.
