53-way Italian Record!

On saturday October 8th, 2011, in Arezzo, 53 skydivers set the new italian FS record. It was long overdue since the previous one (48-way) was set in 2000.
Marco Arrigo's goals for the next year are to go bigger to 80 before summer and, possibly, to 100 before the end of the year!
It was great. Good luck! Stay safe!

and I attach a picture.
The skydive was from 1 skyvan + 2 porters + 1 turbo finist.
Exit altitude 15k (4500 m.).

Nice.

The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, Shouting "...holy shit...what a ride!"

Congratulations! Nice video. Do you also have a picture of the 53 way. Because your pic looks like a 50 way

The pic is the 50-way we made in jump 3, which was the new record, then the organizers replaced 3 of the 4 cameraflyer with skydivers in the bench to increase the record size to 53, which was set the next jump.
Unfortunately the only cameraflyer we had could only shoot videos, not pictures!
That's why the video is correct but the picture is not, despite being that of a record the same day, just the jump before.
