Watch this 105-year-old man have the time of his life on a roller coaster (and break a world record!)
In case you’re wondering the proper way to celebrate your 105th birthday, here’s a sample schedule: Receive a letter from the Queen of England, and ride a roller coaster.
Jack Reynolds, a British man who is now ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE FREAKING YEARS OLD, decided he would go after the Guinness World Record for being the oldest person to ride a roller coaster. Reynolds hopes his thrilling ride will help raise money for the local Air Ambulance that serves Derbyshire, Leicestershire, and Rutland.
"On the 6th of April 2017, I will turn 105 years old so I've decided instead of sitting back to read my second letter from the queen, I'd rather raise a little more money for a well-deserved charity and also see if I can gain my second Guinness World Record by attempting to be the oldest person to ride a roller coaster," Reynolds wrote on his JustGiving page.
Reynolds has already raised more than £400.
