A 101-year-old man is believed to be the world's oldest skydiver after he accepted a dare from friends and jumped out of an airplane at nearly 10,000 feet. Frank Moody, from Holloways Beach on Australia's northeastern coast, beat the record set by a 94-year-old Norwegian in 1999. The organizer Pilkington said “He's an absolute legend. It was a bit of a drunken dare by some of his mates at the local Beach football club. ” Pilkington added she nearly fell off her chair when she first heard Moody go for the record.
