What to remember
On 17 October 2015, 61 wingsuit flyers flew together in a horizontal formation without holding on to one another. The mark was ratified as a large-formation record. No-grip means nobody grabs a neighbour.
A wingsuit has fabric wings between the arms and torso and between the legs. The extra surface slows the vertical fall and adds horizontal speed, giving a glide that can be steered, though it limits part of the body's normal movement. A flight starts from an aircraft or a fixed object and ends when the parachute opens.
Vertical no-grip formations have a separate record, set on 29 December 2024 with 38 people.
