Tue 07 Jul 200836 skydivers join hands to break record over Offaly
THIRTY-SIX people from across Ireland held hands 13,500 feet in the Co Offaly air yesterday to create the largest formation of linked skydivers in Ireland to date.
The free-falling enthusiasts beat the previous Irish record of 30 skydivers; by tomorrow organisers hope to go even further by getting 50 people to link in the skies before dropping back down to earth with a smile.
