The world's oldest skydiver will make you reassess everything
- Text by HUCK HQ
At an age when western society has already written you off, Welsh legend Dylis Price – a grand 82 – is defying everybody’s expectations by jumping out of planes on a regular basis.
The ballsy octogenarian only started skydiving at 54 but quickly got hooked – using the jumps to raise money for her award-winning charity The Touch Trust, which offers creative education and therapy for people with learning disabilities.
Watch her do her thing in the new video above from creative agency Prime and Fire and get inspired by her undiluted passion for life.
