The oldest person to ride a zip line?

Last April, when Jack Reynolds of Derbyshire, England, turned 106 years old, he made another mark in the Guinness Book of World Records. At 104 he became the oldest person to get a tattoo. At 105 he was the oldest person to ride a rollercoaster. And this year, at 106, he became the oldest person to ride a zip line.


His zip line ride was covered by ITV on its "Good Morning, Britain" show. He rode it to raise money for the Stroke Association. The line was 197 feet above the ground and 1,312 feet long, and it was fun, as you can see.  Afterward he commented, "It has become somewhat of a tradition that on my birthday I use my new age to help raise money for worthy charities."
