Have happy birthday tomorrow. I can't imagine being 80 and 'wanting' to jump from a plane!

The "jumping" isn't the problem..it's the LAANDING...the danger is, for old folks..bones are brittle..even a slight mislanding..can result in a broken limb, or hip..and that's a long painful healing process..bones don't knit well at that age..you can often develope infections in the bone..thta's why the risk/reward % for a jump at that age doesn't compute..
