O.K.so it is your eightieth birthday and you think to yourself..."Hey I've lived a long life why not tempt death and see what he's got" Now I don't really think that is what this sweet old lady thought but she certainly experienced it first hand.  The later report says that the group had loosened her harness to make her more comfortable and it was not equipment failure. She says the up side of being in that position is that she couldn't see anything so she just hung on. Both are fine. Now watching you can tell this lady is a pistol i.e. I am skydiving wearing lipstick and a wig and not to be undone she is now thinking race cars are a better option.  Let's hope it is a closed course.
