104-year-old American woman jumped with a parachute 12:55

104-year-old Dorothy Hoffner, who lives in the USA, jumped with a parachute from a height of more than 4 thousand meters. This was reported by People.

On Sunday, October 1, 104-year-old Dorothy Hoffner became the world’s oldest skydiver. She wanted to break the world record. Four years after his first jump, Hoffner made a historic parachute jump.

“It was all amazing, it was great. It couldn’t have been better if we had thought of it ourselves. Age is just a number,” Hoffner said.

He also signaled that a third jump and hot air balloon ride might be possible in the future.

Hoffner made his first parachute jump when he was a hundred years old and celebrated his anniversary with this event. As the woman said, the idea came spontaneously while talking with a friend. The Chicago native found it interesting to get a bird’s eye view of the area where he spent his entire life.

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, before Hoffner, the world’s oldest skydiver was Swede Ruth Linnea Ingegard Larsson. She received this title in May 2022, when she was 103 years old.

Previously Tom Cruise showed Parachute down from the mountains in the new Mission: Impossible.
