For her 100th birthday, a South African great-grandmother decided to celebrate as most centurions do—jump out of a plane.

Georgina Harwood skydived for her birthday on Saturday, telling the Associated Press that the tandem jump was “wonderful, it was exhilarating.”

She planned to continue celebrating on Monday by cage diving with sharks.
