London, Aug 3 : A group of skydivers are said to have set a world record for the biggest skydiving formation.

The 108 daredevils linked up at 180mph while facing headfirst towards the ground.

Five planes were used by the divers, who jumped out at 18,000ft, to beat the previous best of 69.

"We were screaming with joy," the Sun quoted Luis Prinetto, 30, as saying in Ottawa, Illinois, US. (ANI)
