Adeline Franken prepares to take the plunge over Grange-over-Sands in Cumbria, the United Kingdom, on Sunday, August 4, 2019. Ninety-four-year-old Adeline Franken has shown that age need not be a barrier to thrills, after she completed a 15,000 foot skydive to raise money for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. It wasn't the first time this adrenaline junkie has taken the plunge - she did a 14,000 foot jump in 2012. After completing her latest challenge, she said, "There is nothing to it really, you just move towards the edge and kind of flop out." [Photo: VCG]
