You would hardly know Ruby McNally is 100 years old. Just hold your harness right here, OK?
ASHLEY SHARP:
00:00:29
She doesn't look it, and she certainly doesn't act it. The kids can't keep up with me.
ASHLEY SHARP:
00:00:34
Today she's leaping into the next century of life--
RUBY MCNALLY:
00:00:38
Why would you be scared? There's nothing to be scared of. I went at 80 and 90 and now 100.
ASHLEY SHARP:
00:00:45
--surrounded by friends and family. Are you ready for this? Absolutely.
ASHLEY SHARP:
00:00:50
And if you thought old age might slow her down-- Getting all hooked up over here.
ASHLEY SHARP:
00:00:55
--she's only speeding up--
RUBY MCNALLY:
00:00:57
If you slow down, life is over. Bring this arm back.
ASHLEY SHARP:
00:01:00
--and suiting up-- [LAUGHS]
ASHLEY SHARP:
00:01:04
--pushing five family members and friends to take the leap of faith too. OK, ready to go. Yay!

Chris Peterson with Skydance Skydiving is Ruby's guide to the skies. Her last words before takeoff-- Let's go. Let's go. Let's do it.
ASHLEY SHARP:
00:01:22
And finally, it's wheels up on this birthday wish come to life. Because who'd want to blow out candles when you can have the wind blowing through your hair? Whoa.
ASHLEY SHARP:
00:01:38
Back on land, all eyes are skyward, watching and waiting for the woman they call mom, grandma, and great-grandma. Yay, Ruby!
ASHLEY SHARP:
00:01:49
As she lands, her mind ticks forward.
RUBY MCNALLY:
00:01:52
I'm not giving up yet.
ASHLEY SHARP:
00:01:53
Feeling more alive--
MAN:
00:01:55
Still soaking it in?
ASHLEY SHARP:
00:01:56
--at 100 years old than ever before. Ruby did great. She's a natural up there.
ASHLEY SHARP:
00:02:01
And if there's a lesson to learn-- I'm so proud of you.
ASHLEY SHARP:
00:02:04
--from this triple-digit daredevil-- May we all be like you if we are so lucky.
ASHLEY SHARP:
00:02:11
--it's that if you live like your best days are always ahead of you, then they still are. Everybody, I love y'all.
