Amy Chmelecki has spent nearly three decades pushing the boundaries of human flight, amassing over 20,000 skydives and 2,000 hours of wind tunnel time. A true trailblazer, Amy holds an astonishing 25 skydiving world records, 3 world titles, and 9 national titles across disciplines like freefly, freestyle, vertical formation skydiving, and dynamic 4-way.
Amy began her skydiving journey in 1995 at The Ranch in New York and has since become one of the sport’s most recognizable figures. As a proud member of the Red Bull Air Force since 2013, Amy has performed jaw-dropping stunts like flying a wingsuit formation over Manhattan and landing on a barge in the Hudson River. She’s also taken her skills to Hollywood, serving as a skydiving stunt double in films like The Mummy and San Andreas, and performing in high-profile commercials for brands like Verizon and Kia.
Off the screen, Amy is a co-owner of Broken Records LLC and the Highlight Pro Skydiving Team, where she continues to inspire others by organizing groundbreaking events and world record attempts.
