100 Year old woman skydives
November 11, 2014
At Saratoga Skydiving in Gansevoort, New York, Eleanor Cunningham went skydiving. She is also 100 years of age.
Cunningham took up the sport of skydiving when she was 90 years old, according to USA Today. Since the age of 90, she has made three jumps.
Cunningham appears to be in good health and that is why she was permitted by her doctor to be allowed to skydive.
The Albany Times Union reported that Cunningham’s family has been saying that she has been talking about doing this for a long time and that she is no stranger to taking up new activities as she gets older. When Cunningham was in her 50’s she took up skiing and when she was in her 70’s she took up golfing, according to the Albany Times Union.
While activities like golfing and skiing are not as extreme as skydiving, still, it is not every day you see a 100 year old woman go skydiving.
