In a remarkable display of determination and fearlessness, 104-year-old Dorothy recently attempted to set a world record for being the oldest person to do a skydive. The inspiring feat was captured on video and shared online, leaving people in awe of her adventurous spirit.
Dorothy’s skydiving adventure was made possible with the assistance of Skydive Chicago, an agency renowned for its skydiving experiences. They posted her video on Facebook, celebrating her daring endeavor. In the video, Dorothy descends from the sky alongside her instructor, both safely strapped to a parachute. As she gracefully touches down, the crowd around her erupts in cheers and applause. What truly stands out in the video is Dorothy’s radiant smile, showcasing her sheer joy and satisfaction after completing the exhilarating adventure sport.
Take a look:
Currently, the title of the ‘Oldest tandem parachute jump (female)’ is held by Rut Linnéa Ingegärd Larsson from Sweden. She achieved this remarkable record at the age of 103 years and 259 days in 2022, just a year before Dorothy’s inspiring skydiving endeavor.
Age is just not a barrier, hence proved!
