I am a world record-holder for being the oldest

I think, if there's only one way, it's down.

So even if I've got slight absent-mindedness,

I don't worry that my carpet is rather threadbare

I used to be so scared that I would drive the car

up to the drop zone and think, I could go back.

But I knew if I went away, I'd never come back again.

So, so the ecstasy was more than the fear.

The first time I jumped out of an airplane,

And as I fell, I thought, what a mistake, this is death.

And then the next second, I thought, “Oh, I'm flying.”

Skydiving gives you the most intense, wonderful feeling.

and they all say, “It's better than sex.”

I mean, take that the way you like it, but it is.

I think sometimes we get pulled down by fear,

That having done skydiving, I learned courage.

And that has been the biggest turning point in my life.

And I think the courage has helped me to run

a charity, which from scratch is very difficult.

They say most charities fail after three years.

that affected for the good, very profoundly

disabled people and made them really much happier,

And I believe that Touch Trust is my purpose.

I don't have much time to think about the past.

I'm so busy in the present and just going

And I am enjoying so much these days remembering

the past, remembering even the difficult times

that seeing how they all fell into a pattern,

You are a bird for 50 seconds and imagine,

you can go 140 miles an hour, you can do a barrel roll.

You can flip, you can move here, you can move there,

I won't stop, until I know it's not safe.
