641 Jumps in 24 Hours

by Mr. Flight on September 15th, 2006

A couple of Saturdays ago Jay Strokes had a busy day. An avid skydiver, Jay jumped out of a plane 641 times in 24 hours. Jay would bail out of the plane at about 2100 feet, spend about 40 seconds floating back to Earth, and then would jump on the plan again for another ride.

Volunteers would help Jay get out of the old chute, put a new parachute on, and then climb back to 2100 feet. About 130 volunteers were required for the record.
