It's not common for a 100-year-old woman to sky-dive. But Eleanor Cunningham doesn't seem like your average individual.

Cunningham of New York did a birthday jump, a day after she became a centenarian, at Saratoga Skydiving in Gansevoort, according to the Associated Press.

Apparently, this is her third jump since taking up the sport at the ripe age of 90. She took up skiing in her 50s and golfing in her 70s, according to the Albany Times Union.



Her doctor was OK with her decision to jump Saturday because she is in good health, the AP reports.



"She said I'm going to either land alive or dead, one way or the other," granddaughter Debbie Rogers told the Times Union. "She's been talking about this for a long time."
