Former President George H.W. Bush (the older one) spent his 80th birthday high in the sky. Bush Sr. jumped out of a plane at 13,000 ft in the air, treating himself to a birthday skydive. Papa Bush is truly hardcore—not many 80-year-olds skydive. And Bush already made the jump for his 75th birthday. Easy peesy, the second time, I’m sure. [

You missed one.
Elijah Wood crossed Victoria Falls (some of the largest waterfalls in the world) on ropes. He was the first person to ever do it too.
I think that beats a few on this list.

Yeah, and the Lily Allen thing isn’t all that impressive. My bf came home from a few weeks in Spain and said toplessness was the norm. So if you’re going to jump into a swimming hole in Europe, why is that so odd to be topless?

@ Joyy You are quite right. Toplessness is nothing. I have a bunch of friends who have been spending the summer going to various swimming holes and just jumping in naked. Or jumping off of low bridges into rivers naked.
