Australian granny skydives aged 102
OShea first skydived on her 100th birthday and dived again in 2017.
(Reuters) - A 102-year-old Australian granny has become the world’s oldest tandem skydiver, according to organisers, as she leaped out of a plane from over 14,000 feet (4,267 meters) above sea level.
Irene O’Shea hoped to raise funds and awareness for the Motor Neurone Disease Association of South Australia (MNDSA) through the attempt, after she lost her daughter to the disease a few years ago.
O’Shea first skydived on her 100th birthday and dived again in 2017 for the same cause, according to the organisers SA Skydiving.
