101-year-old Grandmother Sets Paragliding Record (WATCH)

By Good News Network Thursday, March 22, 2012

Not wanting to be outdone by her 75-year-old paragliding son, Mary Allen Hardison of Ogden, Utah, took flight on her birthday, becoming the "Oldest Female to Paraglide Tandem" -- an achievement described Tuesday by Guinness World Records as a "celebration of the start of spring and life rejuvenated."

"I didn't want him to do something that I couldn't do," the 101-year-old great, great grandmother said. She didn't know anything about breaking a record. She just wanted to have fun.
