103 year old woman sets record for the World's Oldest Parachuter - Details

A 103-year-old Swedish woman has set a Guinness World Record for flying a parachute.

Some people get scared when they see high places. Still others think they can climb and cross the Himalayas. Rudd Larsson, an old Swedish woman, has once again recorded in history that age is not a barrier to such efforts. He is 103 years and 259 days old.

Larson, who says she has had a long-standing desire to travel by parachute, is eager to fulfill that desire. With this, Larson has made her dream come true in Modala, Sweden. Larsen was assisted by a team of experts on a parachute voyage. Everyone gathered to celebrate Larson's landing safely by parachute from a small plane.

Her family has been supportive of Larson's initiative. She said, "I have been thinking for days about flying a parachute. My long-held wish has now come true. Everything went according to plan."

Larson holds the world record for the oldest woman to fly a parachute. Earlier, a woman 103 years and 181 days old was the oldest person to parachute in the world. Larsen has now broken this record.

Earlier this month a woman named Raymond Sullivan set out on a parachute ride on her 100th birthday. It was talked about all over the world. Sullivan, who worked as a nurse during World War II, initially said the trip was scary, but later surprised many by saying he liked it.
