Woman, 102, enjoys birthday base jump

[Jazzy]

A 102-year-old Idaho woman celebrated her birthday in unusual fashion - by base jumping off a near 600ft high bridge.

Dorothy Custer, who celebrated her 101st by zip-lining Idaho's Snake River Canyon, marked her latest landmark by leaping off the 586ft high Perrine Bridge.

She jumped with professional BASE jumper Sean Chuman who said she had been - by far - his oldest client.

Mrs Custer said she had originally planned a "quiet" birthday celebration but her family had encouraged her to celebrate in style.

"I was thinking of going to jump out of a plane, but then I found out it was too much," she told KMTV.com.

When asked about the key to her longevity, she replied: "I just went on living and having a good time and doing what was necessary. I don't think of age right now."

WTG Dorothy!

Would you do what she did?

Maybe when I'm her age.

Wow! Good on her

I'd quite like to do a base jump one day, not sure about that age though.

Damn! Not even I would do this.
