While the game of Quidditch might have originated from J.K. Rowling in her novels about Harry Potter and his time at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, these brave individuals attempt to play a game of the flying sport in mid-air while skydiving. A video captures several individuals wielding brooms and balls attempting to play a round of Quidditch before they need to pull their parachute.
Part of the distinction to Quidditch is that it is a wizardly sport played while flying on broom sticks, making it incredibly hard to recreate. This group of individuals attempt to do so while skydiving, allowing the aerial sport to simulate the act of flying. As the parachuters fall, they attempt to use their time in the air to throw a ball around and make plays.
