While the contemporaries of South African woman Georgina Harwood are either six feet below the ground, in homes for the aged or spending their sunset years in rocking chairs or pushed around in wheelchairs, she is still strong and daring.

On Saturday, to mark her 100^th birthday, Harwood did not blow 100 candles on her birthday cake but skydived in Meklbosstrand in Cape Town. It was actually her third skydive; her first was when she was 92, reports WNCT.

The grandma says that the jump, which raised money for her favorite advocacy, the National Sea Institute, was a little bit different from her first two skydives, but it was wonderful.

"I'm trying to think of the adjectives I can add to, but it was very difficult, there are so many adjectives," Inquisitr quotes Harwood. "But it was definitely a very special, exhilarating experience, even this jump seems to be a little different from the previous ones."

She was accompanied in the skydive by a professional skydiver and 15 of her family members, who jumped three at a time, while some friends who are not as daring as Harwood still drove all the way to Cape Town to watch her aerial stunt.

Upon landing safely, she celebrated with a cocktail with her friends and family.

Harwood was born at the height of World War I when the president of the United States was Woodrow Wilson. South Africa then was a British colony.

From the sky, she will dive again on Monday, but on deep waters as she goes shark cage diving.

Harwood is certainly not your traditional granny with her white hair tied in bun, specs and shawl, while spending time waiting for her grandkids on a rocking chair and knitting.
