97-year-old skydiver takes the plunge

Bless him

Good for him ...he's got more guts than I have.

Bravo.I tip my hat to him..the old coot still has guts...not many men make it into the late 90's...he is a trooper

Thats awsome, Got to give the man credit for his age and his stamina, Thanks for the post; Regards; TFF

That's awesome. Oddly though, I keep picturing the old man as if he is a bloodhound in front of a high velocity fan.

He's definitely braver than I am....you couldn't pay me enough money to do something like that.

To raise money for lifeboats? Sure, I'll do that for a cure for cancer, or to raise funds to de-mine an area, but lifeboats? 97 and he has survived. That's amazing.

I'm a huge supporter of the RNLI also, I guess because I've lived on the coast for so many years and see all the good work the RNLI do, it's not apparent if you don't. The Lifeboats get no government funding at all, so rely solely on fundraising etc, so it's a cause close to my heart. You gt so many dipsticks out there on yachts and kids blown halfway to France on a li-lo..... They also go out to rescue in such teacherous condition... [More]
