    Bryson William Verdun Hayes breaks the Guinness World Record for oldest person to skydive at 101 years and 38 days, in Devon, England, May 14, 2017. Hayes jumped 4,500 meters out of an airplane with his son, grandson, great-grandson and great-granddaughter when he broke the record. Hayes said he had wanted to try skydiving when he was 90, but was talked out it at the time by his late wife. He jumped for the first time last year at 100. Hayes served in the British Army during World War II, and was awarded France's Legion of Honor for his heroic actions. Members of the family have separate online donation pages but Hayes, who hoped to raise ?1,000, has already beaten his target. (Photo/Agencies)
