Last week, an 82-year-old named Hilde ticked off the last thing on her bucket list: skydiving in Dubai. According to Britain's Daily Mail, the South African jumped out of a plane 13,000 feet above the city accompanied by a professional skydiver, and landed safely.

Hilde had visited the United Arab Emirates several times before to see her family. Having seen other people skydive, she was inspired to finally give it a go, as it was something she always wanted to try.

"The highlight for me was just being able to sail along, looking at the Palm from above. It was wonderful," Hilde said, referring to Dubai's iconic palm-shaped artificial island.
