Polish Grandma is a Parachutist.



150_pola.jpgKrystyna Zbyszynska became the oldest skydiver in Poland over the weekend when she made her first jump. Reuters reports she is 84 years old; Polish news reports identify her as being 82. Either way, it’s an impressive feat. But Zbyszynska is no ordinary octagenarian.

“I survived World War Two and wasn’t afraid, so what’s there to be afraid of now?” she said after clambering out of her jumpsuit this weekend.

Zbyszynska says she will jump again when she turns 100. Link -via Fark
