Watch skydivers practice for a 222-person world record attempt

That is entirely too many skydivers.

This, from The Guardian, is a practice run of what appears to be about 80-90 skydivers jumping in unison and convening into formation as practice for a TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWO (222) person attempt on Wednesday over Arizona:

The skydivers are going for a world record-- “Largest Double-Formation Skydive”-- and those colored outfits are supposed to help them coordinate a formation during a window of just over a minute. This smaller-scale rehearsal (itself pretty close to the record of 110 people) looks amazing, although I’m kinda worried about this person:

Godspeed, jumpers.
