Always cringe when I see these PR exercises of old people skydiving. It's all fine as long as long as nothing goes wrong - giving the false impression they love to tout that "anyone can do it". Unfortunately things go wrong in skydiving, and the go wrong quite often. If you're elderly and you have a hard landing or worse, some injuries that may not be
so drastic for a young person can quickly become life altering or death for someone older.
