Skydiving...Pick It Up As You Go Along...

A Pennsylvania man celebrated his 100th birthday by jumping out of an aeroplane at 13,000 feet.

Fred Mack said his tandem skydiving jump at Free Fall Adventures in Williamstown, New Jersey, was the culmination of a promise he made five years ago when he made his first-ever skydiving jump to mark his 95th birthday. "I'm still alive," Mack said on landing.

Dr. Elliot Gerber, Mack's cardiologist, said he contacted Guinness World Records about the centenarian's accomplishment. "I cleared him last time, this time they didn't ask for me to sign off," Gerber said. "Mack has been my patient for 20 years and he is in great shape. He's an amazing man."

If he carries on like that he'll be pancake shaped!
