Karine Joly

This spectacular image captures a nighttime skydiving world record, featuring Karine Joly. A historic first in sport skydiving, 42 athletes—dressed in vibrant, illuminated jumpsuits—performed a highly technical head-down formation flight at night over the skies of Arizona.

Surrounded by dazzling trails of pyrotechnic sparks, the scene takes on a magical, otherworldly quality. But behind the beauty lies an extraordinary level of precision, coordination, and risk. Flying in close proximity at high speeds, in total darkness, and enhanced by live pyro effects, demands exceptional expertise and trust among the athletes. This awe-inspiring jump not only demonstrates the remarkable skills of these multi-world-record-holding skydivers, but also pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in the sport—blending extreme athleticism with artistic expression in an explosion of light and color.

We recently completed jumps over Marseille and Lyon Marseille and Lyon for the "Ultimate 4D" Project. Objective: that everyone, handicapped included, can live the experience without having to jump out of a plane.

Thanks to the cutting-edge technology of the Oculus 3D headset and simultaneous flight in the iFLY wind tunnels, you can experience the sensations of freefall in exceptional conditions! In fact, the jump takes place over over a major city normally off-limits to overflights, in the company skydiving world champions.
