A 102-year-old great-grandmother is believed to have become the world’s oldest skydiver after plunging 14,000 feet (4,300 metres) through the South Australian sky. Irene O’Shea first skydived on her 100th birthday, and has been jumping every year since. This was the second year she was skydiving to raise awareness for motor neuron disease which claimed her daughter’s life 10 years ago.
