Introducing: The world’s bravest granny, sky-diving at 89

by

Joan Wells is an 89-year-old great grandmother from Scotland and she is a lot braver than we are!

This brave soul decided that at almost ninety, she would give sky diving a go for the first time.

The great-grandmother of four, is believed to be the oldest person to have ever done a skydive in Scotland as she took part i the 10,000ft jump. 

Speaking about her experience, she said "It was very interest, I sort of enjoyed it – it was a new experience but it was over so quick that you don't really have time to think about it."

While some might be shutting their eyes are tightly as they possibly can, this sky diver took in absolutely every minute of it saying she got a "good view in the freefall bit.. it was beautiful countryside".

She does charity work for Blysthwood care and this adrenaline rush was all in the name of raising funds for an after school project for children in Romania. 

Joan said he has a feeling it was her who suggested doing the sky dive in the first place "So, of curse I had to go for it after that. It's a chance of a lifetime really". 

She added: "Everyone keeps asking me if I would do it again and quite honestly I don't know.

"It would very much depend on what it was for, but having done it once I think I could do it again, although I am not sure I would rush to."
