84 Year Old Skydiver

AP Wire | 04/17/2006 | Skydiving doesn't scare 84-year-old Jamestown woman

More skydiving antics from people who prove that growing old doesn't mean you have to give up doing new and exciting things - this time from 84 year old Betty Taft.

You don't have time to be scared," she said.

"The first minute is kind of bad because you're free falling, and I had no idea it was so cold. I about near froze to death," she said.

"Once the chute opened, of course, we were floating, and it was just beautiful," Taft said. "It was awesome."

Brilliant - maybe if I live to be 84 I'll take up skydiving too ....
