We would be lucky to be that age and still have all our mental faculties. But I guess if you were going to go the "big splat" would do just as well as any other.

Probably I won't be skydiving at age 104, that was sad she passed away days later, what I read in the newspaper that guy who she Skydived with found her deceased, usually at that age your heart is weak.

I saw that on the news I believe she would’ve gone either way but at least she experienced something very special on earth before she went to Heaven

This lady went out like a badass. I have gone skydiving before and would do it again. I can only hope I can still walk and healthy enough to do that if I live that long.

I wouldn't skydive if I was drunk out of my mind and tied inside the plane. I'm terrified of heights and I'd die of fright in midair.

If my skin will stay in its place at that age and not fly away from the strong current and leave my skeleton hanging in the middle of the sky then why not?

No, I see no reason to jump out of a perfectly good plane. Doesn't matter what age I am.

Sure! Definitely thinking about it now, and have tried indoor skydiving in a wind tunnel, which was good fun.

May as well. Could be that last thing I do. And if so, it's not a bad way to finish such a long life.
