Colorado Skydivers Set Record in Longmont Sunday
August 31, 2011 Have you ever tried skydiving?
Last weekend, a group of thrill seekers set a new Colorado skydiving record when 69 people dropped from planes over the Vance Brand Municipal Airport in Longmont, according to the Longmont Times-Call.
The previous state record was 56, set in Lamar in 2008.
The skydivers leaped from planes at 15,300 feet and grabbed ahold of each other long enough for a photo. Their ages ranged from 19 to 67.
