Does anyone know if they got the 150-way in Deland this past weekend?
Additionally, can anyone confirm or deny a rumor of a fatility during this
past weekend, also at Deland?
I hope the respective answers are yes and denied.

I heard the report of a fatality from the local Wash D.C. TVnews. It supposedly occured on a "153" way (3 cameras I guess) but they did not say if it was complete- only that it was an attempt to break the 144 way record.

Apparently the man had sinus troubles and became disoriented when he was caught in the burbble from about 140 people already in the attempted 160-way. He then fell into a woman in the formation and was knocked unconcious. Several people chased him to below 1000' but were unable to catch him. I don't think they ever got the world record.
