An experienced skydiver has died while taking part in a 222-person group formation attempting to set a world record in Arizona. 46-year-old Diana Paris, who had taken part in around 1,500 skydives, died after her main parachute malfunctioned and her reserve was released too late. The team of veteran skydivers from 28 countries were on their first attempt to break the record when the mishap occurred, said Gulcin Gilbert, a spokeswoman for the World Team group that organised the jump. They had travelled to the US to try and break the record for the largest number of people to complete two aerial formations before deploying their parachutes. Report by Sophie Foster.
