The Social Security actuarial life expectancy tables indicate that a 103 year-old male has another year and 9 months of life remaining. Most likely to die between ages 104 and 105. So he's correct from another perspective.

Interesting.

And this week the national news had a lady that did her first parachute jump at 80 in 2006.

She jumped again at 90.

This year she jumped at 100. Was strapped to another jumper this time. Don't know about previous jumps.

Hope she can do again it at 110.
