A rare person is even able to live up to 94 years old, but Eila Campbell from Pennsylvania celebrated her 94th birthday in heaven by jumping with a parachute. "On the eve of this day, I thought that I would never jump with a parachute next year. It's better to do it now," she explained.

The flight took place with an instructor, and first he and Campbell practiced on the ground. Then the old lady fearlessly jumped from a height of 3000 meters, reaching a speed of 190 kilometers per hour in free fall. The weather was sunny and almost windless, so the landing was calm.

Next to the woman were her loved ones, including her great-granddaughter and great-great-granddaughter, who explained: "Skydiving was on her list of things to do in a lifetime, and I could not miss such a moment in any way."

The owner of the parachute business Don Kellner (he got into the Guinness Book of Records, having made 44 thousand jumps) admitted that he had never seen such old people decide to do it.
