The statement: “Age is only a number” has been proved by this 102-year-old great grandma and how! Irene O’Shea did what people mostly in their 20s, 30s, and 40s do, she skydived from a plane!
If you are even somewhat familiar with skydiving, you’d know that it’s not for the faint-hearted. It requires a lot of guts and skill to jump out of a high-flying plane into nothingness with only a chute. Of course, every time you skydive, the risk factor is always high.
Irene who displayed exemplary courage did this death-defying jump at this ripe old age from Langhorne Creek in South Australia and landed safely on the ground. Of course, she was assisted by a skydiving instructor. In the process, she broke the record for being the oldest woman to skydive and entered the Guinness Book of World Records.
