A great-grandma goes bungee jumping at 91!! WHAT!

About a week ago in Queenstown, New Zealand, a 91 year old woman named Mary Manssen threw herself off a bridge. With a rope attached, of course!! She went bungee jumping and showed everyone how it’s done!!!

”When I got out [on the jumping platform], you should have heard the roar of the people. It was just marvellous. I was determined I was going to do it, and I did it! ”My husband wouldn’t let me do it before … since he died I’ve done everything — I’ve been naughty.”

Check out the jump!!

In 2008, when Mary was 84, she started her bungee jumping career! So far she’s the oldest woman to jump at the site in New Zealand, with a 94-year-old male taking the crown. The staff at the jumping site said “It was one of the most inspiring jumps we have seen in a long time, it is pretty special when you get someone like Mary stepping up to do a jump. She was awesome!”

Believe it or not, in Mary’s eyes, this probably isn’t her greatest achievement. She has she has seven children, 18 grandchildren, 35 great grandchildren and one great great grandchild!! She could start an army. Is there anything she can’t do?!
