Ruby McNally, from Roseville, Calif., celebrated her 100th birthday recently by continuing a tradition that began two decades ago: jumping out of an airplane. The centenarian took to the skies at SkyDance SkyDiving in Davis, Calif., joined by six family members and friends. McNally’s first jump came on her 80th birthday, after her grandson challenged her to try skydiving. She returned for another jump at 90 and promised she would be back when she turned 100. McNally said she doesn’t spend much time worrying about the risks. "If you sit and worry about it, then you're going to talk yourself out of it," she said. McNally said she hopes the younger generations continue the tradition. Her granddaughter suggested they may not need to wait another decade, proposing that they make the jump an annual event. Asked whether she would skydive again at 110, McNally replied, “I’m aiming for it."
