Phoenix, AZAn experienced female skydiver was killed during a group world-record skydiving attempt when a parachute malfunctioned on Thursday morning in Eloy.
The person was part of a 222-person group trying to break the world record for a "formation jump" about 7:30 a.m.
The skydiver's parachute was released too low to allow the reserve chute to fully open and not related to aircraft, the size of the group or weather conditions, according to an official statement from Skydive Arizona, an Eloy skydiving business.
