A 106-year-old man has set a record as the oldest person to paraglide in Taiwan. The man -- Yu De-hsing -- turned heads for his daring feat and strong spirit.
Prepare for liftoff! 106-year-old Yu De-hsing takes to the skies. With the guidance of a coach, Yu is paragliding. He’s a little nervous at first, saying a little prayer in the air. But after a while, Yu is absolutely loving the experience. Cautious prayers turn into joyous hymns, and Yu even raises his hands and legs as he flies through the sky. Look at him go!
After ten minutes, Yu and his coach come in for a bit of a rough landing, but he’s a-okay. And… he’s just set the record as the oldest man to ever paraglide in Taiwan. But not without getting the go-ahead from medical experts first.
Yu says that it was amazing to be able to see such an expansive view. He said that he witnessed the glory of God’s creation, and that it was beautiful.
Grandpa Yu’s ten minute flight is more proof than ever that age is just a number.
