100 Year Old Jumps Off a Mountain


I've got to get to 100 first - then I'll jump.

A brave British pensioner celebrated her 100th birthday by setting what is believed to be a new world record on Wednesday after paragliding from the top of a mountain range in Cyprus.

------------------------
From the Daily Mail

British grandmother Peggy McAlpine celebrated her 100th birthday by becoming the world's oldest paraglider.

Not content with her letter from the Queen, Peggy floated into the record books just three years after moving to "start a new life" in Cyprus.

She had already bungee-jumped with members of the Royal Parachute Regiment as an 80-year-old "youngster."

But cracking open a bottle of champagne after a safe landing, Peggy was already planning her next adventure.

Seems the jump alone would kill him.
