Michael Bratcher may have broken a state record for the number of skydivers in one day.
Michael Bratcher knows no limit— not when it comes to age or how many times a person can consecutively skydive in 24 hours.
The first jump took place at 6:35 a.m. local time, and he ended his run at 9:05 p.m. local time. He took off and jumped out of a single Cessna 182 about every seven minutes. There was a bit of a lull about halfway through his event due to the weather. Bratcher said he initially planned to jump 60 times for his 60th birthday, which is in December. He googled skydiving records in Kentucky and formulated a plan.
"Everyone was just amazing," he continued. "All were worn out but pushed through fatigue and made it an overall success, and we reached that 100 together as a team."
