UNITED STATES (REUTERS) - Judy Robbins from Brownsburg, Indiana, went skydiving on her 80th birthday on Saturday (Oct 21).
She said she has been wanting to jump out of an airplane despite what others said.
"Everyone at the nursing home says oh 'aren`t you scared to death, ya know I wouldn't do that'," Robbins said.
