People continue to watch our mother jump out of a plane. I cannot keep up with your comments. Thank you so much for watching and for commenting. When I need I lift, I come and read your comments.
Update: July 11, 2022
Hello everyone. This has just been an amazing ride to see so many people watching her video! I'm so pleased. I am now ready to step into her shoes and share some of my own inpsiration with you. I hope you will join me for dance break videos, journal passages, and perhaps some wisdom of the day. Mother left us on January 3, 2020, just before covid hit us. She was so surprised people watched her video and commented about being inspired. She was like that. She just wanted to jump!!
Update: September 22, 2019
This is amazing that there are more than 3.5M views. I don't know why or how it started trending, but it is sure fun to see all the people and the comments. I could no longer keep up with the comments when she hit over 200,000 views a day. I am sorry for that!! But I want you all to know that she is alive, she is not quite as spry as she was at 90. She loves your comments and says she is not brave, just a regular person. I love reading to her the comments and the list of countries she has been to with this video. I really want her to get on Ellen (USA show). If you have a mind, send Ellen's show a request. Thanks for watching everyone, we never thought it would go viral.
Margaret Wesson has been waiting until her 90th birthday to skydive. July 26, 2014 it happened. Thank you so much everyone at Skydive Twin Cities in Baldwin WI. The whole experience was perfect!! Margaret is with the red and white parachute, Barb is with the orange, watch Barb's spiral!!! - Komedie
She is old by age, but. *YOUNG by heart 💓*
There is only the young and young at heart.
Asha محمد
Asha exactly 😂
Yes true
Well said.
Hello everyone, I wanted to send an update as some of you have been asking....Margaret passed away just before all this covid19 weirdness hit. She was 95.5. She lived a wonderful, full life and once again, I thank you for all your comments. She has heard many of them and couldn't believe that so many people from so many countries would be interested in her video. Humble to the end. Thanks for watching, we are now close to 6M views. Seriously wonderful. Thanks everyone!!!! Barb, daughter of the Margaret. All Hail Margaret!!
R.I.P GRANDMA.. You were the strongest women i have seen. God bless u
ono Margaret ❤️😔 i loved her vibe, i wanted to thank her frm heart.
RIP grandmaaa 😍🙏🙏🙏🙏
Awhh. 😢. I was so happy and smiling before reading this comment.. RIP 💐
RIP
She took her bucket list seriously. Major respect.
Without kicking the bucket!

I think I might do the same once I hit 90.😁
Greetings from Moscow, I even cried a little while watching this video. Huge respect to your mother, and respect to the professional guy who landed her so competently and smoothly.
So it actually just doesn't matter how old you are, it's never too late to do fun things😎
Mhm
It actually matters, depends on how dangerous are those fun things but i partly agree with you😉
Old people try to have as much fun as they can befor they pass!
True
Hell yeah I agree
I was scared she might have a heart attack, stroke or break her legs on landing, but she NAILED IT. Congratulations Margaret! You are a true inspiration!!
How are you doing
Pack your depends for sure!
Yes she is :)
even though she's old she still have power 🧐
she's already old and pretty much done evrything in life......she got nothing to los...
🌹🌷🌸🌼🌻Aww God bless Ms.Margaret God rest her soul .I don’t know her but I love her ❤and feel warm in side when I watch her video 🙏💜🌹🌸🌷🌺💐she so sweet and kind
Age is just a number, and Margaret just gave life to this saying. That was splendid . Outstanding guts of a person, her age. ❤Thanks Margaret for teaching us all , the true meaning of will power.
age is just a number is crazy
Agreed
She at her 90s, Sky diving.
And me at 24, "Mom, hold the ladder"
hahahahha
😂😂😂😂💀
😁
😅😅😅
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your grandma took advantage of life even at 90. May we all have more of that spirit.
BUT AT WHAT COST?
@@BaadalWRLD_Official What.
Fr
W-W-WHAT?!😱
3:06
massive respect for the cameraman for flying
Right? The diving with her wanted to give her a longer ride, so he pulled early. Camera guy wasn't expecting it and lost her soon. So you got to see me pull the driving cord all the way to one side and twirl down!! HA! Thanks for watching!
I did this this on Sept 9/23 for my 60th Birthday and I thought that was good.. But after coming across this video I feel that I'll never be able to rise to the occasion like your mother did.. Very insperational video and I'm sure many who have watched this have said "If she can do it, so can I" Thank you for sharing this..♥
Yes you can too. Thanks for watching!
Wow, well done. Be so proud of yourself 🙏
Great grand mother... Hats off to you ☺️
“We did it mom, we did it” brought tears to my eyes.
x2 💕😭
It was that awesome to do that with her!
Was it scary???
@@DoDo-yl3io ighhyjùki88890j0j0ook,kkmkoik
@@bwesson15 is she still alive right now?
Good for her for doing what she wanted before she passed! What an inspiration she is, even in death!
When did she pass??
My nonna, Aurora, is turning 80 in July and I’ve heard her talking about wishing that she could try skydiving for a couple of years now. So my sis and I have all of our spots reserved and we’re taking her on her bday.
79 yo and probably the most exciting and eccentric person that I know. Always tells my sister and I, “If you want to have a life, you have to live your life and live it your way!”
She sounds amazing, I hope that she has the dive of her life! It's so nice to know there are people at that point in life that still have such an energetic love for life. I don't know if you know this movie or it's before your time, if not you need to watch, but your grandmother and that quote sound just like something from a movie called "Harold and Maude". 😂👍
Wow, never thought anyone would read this comment since the vid’s pretty old. Yeah, 18 here so it is a bit before my time, but I LOVE H&M! Even jokingly call her Nonna Maude sometimes because she really reminds me of her, except my nonna’s never committed GTA. 😂
@@NevermoreMadGirl Nonna Maude, I LOVE it! Well, steal cars or not, your grandmother still seems like a great person, bless her and you as well.

@@NevermoreMadGirl how did it go?
That lady has a lot of guts.The guy with her was so respectful and caring.
He sure was. She wants to jump again at 95 and we will be hoping that Kerry is available again!
Barbara Wesson -If I ever get the courage ....I'll ask for him .
He was amazing. He was so kind and caring in so many ways..He came across as really caring for her.
You give me a lesson grandmother to enjoy each and every moment of life.
You are right
Enjoy life whenever the situation is too difficult
@@johnchristophercortez8959 yes, john
Abhilasha Kashyap good one 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
gemma tatlock umm. Please inform me of what is so funny?
Margaret is so brave to do that, even at her age. That was incredible!!
I love this ❤ you can tell she really enjoyed it . Then when they took a picture with her was the best .
That's amazing, she's 90 and still that brave, I m 18 I scared to jump a little fence
Cliff Cliff she’s 95
Yeah for real rqbbo
Sayda Khatun Oof, that’s not you. That’s me XD
Ok.. Lol
Cliff Cliff same but I’m younger cus I’m 9;(
That's how a grandma should be... Ready to rock!
10 ON 10 baje tak aungi in my eyes i am not able to come today so kindly approve 2-3accountant I
10 ON 10 I was your 100th like
I value your warm support!
In the skydive world we have women who are 80 who are still skydiving on their own since the 1950's. One older lady I know has over twenty thousand jumps and still going strong.
Ha yaar sahi bola
What an amazing lady! I'm definitely going to use this video when I teach my students our SEL unit "Challenge Accepted" on bravery. Rest high, beautiful soul!
It is seen that she is interested in sports, she is a happy person. I like her look, her short white hair. She is a wonderful woman. I love this.
Congratulations Margaret....!!!!!
When you send your grandma a letter from the battlefield telling her you haven't eaten in days
Hahaha
This is honestly the funniest comment I have ever seen 😂😂😂
Tactical mre incoming!!!
Lmao your username I watched that video lol
Bruh 😂😂
She is so brave 😁
Linda 82 yes
I wouldn't do that it is 2 scary
Bounce and break the fear barrier 😉
BAD
So cool to see this beautiful lady do this so amazing
Who else was worried she would have a heart attack?
I was...
Ethan Wayhoo ✌
But her heart doc was there......he assured us that this wouldn't kill her. She would have gone anyway!
Barbara Wesson it was more of a joke, I know she was safe!
Me I though she was gonna die ....... am Sceard
This brought me to tears when she landed! She said “that was wonderful!” I think I’m ready! Thanks for the motivation, grandma 💜💜💜💜
czcams.com/video/S5u_oelz9jw/video.html
That is our favorite part of the whole video!!
Me too
Me too i dont know why i cried
Proof that you are never too old to have fun
Love from England, this was a joy to watch. Age is not a barrier to anything!!
Brave woman
I wonder what she like when she was younger
Chae fax
She was just as amazing in youth
Good question?
top notch did you actually know that she was A.N. diving dive expert
She was fun, much we didn't know until her passing. She was single until 31 in the 1940s....went to Cuba, lots of dances, owned her own beauty salon in Minneapolis, MN. Never talked much about those days with us. Only had 13 years with the love of her life (my father, he died) and then was left to raise 4 small kids. She did it alright. A tough old bird one would say.
I was afraid she would have a heart attack, thank God she did not
Her heart doctor was there and he said "Oh this won't kill her!" and he was right!!
I almost did just watching this 😂
Same
SPOILER let me get scared too
Yeah same here😂
She does a sky dive then picks up her walking stick! I love it, just brilliant.
4:30 Queen Elizabeth respawning after clutching the gulag:
This woman is an inspiration in so many ways, hope to be as cool as her when I get there.
Yes
I can't express how beautiful this video is.. this is the life we have been missing always 😊😊
Thanks so much. It meant so much to her, and ALL those people who waited around for 4 hours to watch her jump. It was a magnificent day.
Totally adorable. Really cute.
ohhh she is so cute ...grannies are love actully...glad to see that she is enjoying in this age even..
Yes
My grandma is giving me headaches-

90 years old: skydiving

Thank you for sharing this amazing woman's adventure.
This is so sweet. You are an inspiration, Margaret.
What a brave woman!!! When I grow up, I want to be just like her!
czcams.com/video/S5u_oelz9jw/video.html
Wish I had her bravery. Good for you Margret, what an inspiration.
why wait?
Happy birthday to her, I wish her more 90 yrs life.
I am 66 & have been thinking of choosing an urn to hold my ashes. Changed my mind after watching this! Thank you, lady!
What a badass, she's so cool! Happy 90th birthday Margaret:)
Thanks for all your great comments about my super swell mother. Now she wants to do it again at 95. The family screams NOOOOOOO.....I say we will probably go for it again! ;-) Stay tuned. 3 more years.
she,s one hard grandma bless her
Hi, Great!! woow
I thought such a jump could cause a heart attack for a lady like her .That's what doctor told :( ..Dr was wrong
Her heart doctor replied when asked if she could jump...."Well, I don't think that will kill her." Alrighty, jump she would.
Barbara Wesson I
Me too. This will be me I'm sure. I love skydiving.
Whoever reads this I hope you have a long healthy life and this beautiful lady right here -❤️✨ Have a great day🌺
thanks Samah Ali. She did, passed away in January at 95.5!
@@bwesson15 it's ok awe..she had a long healthy life that's good :3
Barbara Wesson aw I’m sorry, she had a great, long, healthy life though :)
@@bonnieh2064 yea
thank you i appreciate that❤
Just wake up and live ! 🎉 It’s NEVER to late ! ❤❤❤
I can't remember when I did skydiving I was eighteen when I did it and I'm now in my 30s but the best way to describe it for me there's no other feeling like it when you skydive and even thinking of it now gives me a thrill.
My God! I cried with happiness and emotion. I want to congratulate the old woman who has exceeded her limits. It is a great example of courage, overcoming. She should set an unforgettable moment in her life.
Ikr
Visurdo godbless to the old woman
She is not old anymore , she is the young women now 🤗😘
Wow she’s pretty brave to do that at 9O Years old

Grandma: goes sky diving
Me: no I’m not jumping off that step stool
😁😁🤣🤣
Same. Huhu
Omg same I'm literally crying of laughter
Brody Flipz same lol

The good thing about doing this when old is that you are so close to the conclusion of life that passing here beats passing in a nursing home/hospital
At 90 why not you got nothing to lose way to rise grandma ❤️
Grandma was like, If I'm gonna die soon..then let me die like a BOSS.
Lol😂
Haha right !
MsSecretlady lol bruh!!😂😂😂
Rude

Margaret was my mother-in-law Mary’s best friend and neighbor. Mary misses her so much! I enjoyed talking to your Mom over the years at holidays and about her horses on the farm, she is one gutsy lady. May her memory be a blessing. 🕊
I'm glad to see some update on this ladys life! Very glad it seems she missed this hectic time in the world!....hope ahe had another skydive before the last sleep. Much care and love you your family Margaret!!!
Hmmmm I smell cap........

She is the poster child for skydiving, love it 🥰
If I could hug her through my screen I would! God Bless her
Wow! Margaret was so much braver than I could ever be. What a fantastic lady! Perfect landing as well. I’m sorry to learn that she has passed. Bless her memory. RIP Margaret 💐
Just so sad when we all reach a certain age in our life

Coolest grandma that I’ve ever seen
it is absolutely wonderful that there are such people in the world. A great example for all.
A very brave granny! Maximum respect, sis!🤟
when the parachute went up i was like: “HOW THE HECK IS THAT TINY THING GONNA HELP!!!!”
jajajajajajaja.
😂😂same here
Haha me too!
say that again
kabelo ookeditse uh-
Admirable! She must have a wonderful life,Now I have a dream about skydiving when I aged 90 if I could live so long!
well done
Царствие небесное Маргарет! Я узнала из комментариев, что она умерла. Видео тронуло до слез. Слез умиления и счастья, что такие люди есть на белом свете!!! Храни Бог всех потомков Маргарет! Классная, удивительная, потрясающая бабуля была!
Brave Great Grandma You Did it.
This woman knows how to have fun at this age
I think it's great she did it at 90! I have skydived, and believe me.... nothing beats that thrilling, adrenaline rushing, & dangerous adventure! It's awesome, & I loved it too! I am glad she enjoyed it! 🌏👍🪂✈️
She’s sooo adorable!!! I love seeing people like Margaret living life…I want to do it too!!!
Praise God thats simply beautiful. If we want to see REAL CHANGE in this world it starts with YOU. This is how we/you make the change we want. We become it through acts of love, just as Christ first love us, we pass that joy onto others. You made her year!! Awesome
what a courageous lady ! she was very relaxed after landing and said "It was wonderful, beautiful"
She is doing skydiving at age of 90
And 18 year old me gets afraid of jumping from a 🌲 tree😂😂😎
😹😹😹
Seriously I was so afraid of heights that I couldnt even look in the sky and guess what I did 3 days ago, my first fucking skydive
@Dark Night Relaxation it was just a pure moment of inner peace, i had no time to be afraid at all once I jumped out of the plane, u are just floating with the moment, I made the mistake to try to breathe with my mouth instead my nose, so I couldnt get oxygen, when the free fall ended it was kind of a big relief for me because I was finally able to breathe. The Point of maximum danger is the Point of minimum fear.
And to be honest I dont feel like the same person anymore, I know that I can archive everything and so can you, just do it, you wont regret it, I promise you
