南非百岁老太跳伞庆生
To make her 100th birthday exciting and special, South African woman Harwood had a parachute jump in the air, but parachute jump is not enough for her. She plans to make it even more exciting by doing a shark cage dive on Monday.
With the help of another person, she made the jump on Saturday near the north of Cape Town. 15 family members and friends in groups of three were also in the air with Harwood. She looked young while wearing red clothes in the air. Harwood said it was wonderful seeing all the others around her.
Harwood said this was her third parachute. She did her first when she was 92 years old in 2007.
On Monday, she will realize her another wish—doing a shark dive. It is far more nervous than parachute jump, even young men are afraid of doing that. On that day, she will go into a cage, and the workers put the cage in the water with fish meat around the cage. When sharks smell the fish, they will open their big mouth and eat the fish, it is really dangerous.
