"Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it's a crowd-surfing granny!


~ Granny breaks Guinness World Record for crowd surfing ~


"Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it's a crowd-surfing granny!

A 99-year-old woman has been recognised by Guinness World Records after becoming the oldest person to crowd surf at a concert.

Pauline Kana, who was born in August 1926, said it was her dream to be "the greatest in the world at something".

Now she has achieved her wish by being floated by a crowd of roughly 20,000 people at a gig in the US.

The feat took place during a show by country star Bradley Gilbert at the Austin County Fairgrounds in Texas, in May.

To keep things comfortable, Kana was passed through the crowd on cushioned stretcher.

The crowd kept up a lively chant of "Granny! Granny!"

"I did it!" Kana said after receiving her Guinness Award.

"I'm the greatest of all time!""

She's pretty brave at 99! It wouldn't be me, but then I guess there are much more dangerous things to do. :)

I think it's great. It's a nice change from all the shattering world news we see daily.
Have a grand one, Jan.

I'm amazed that at 99 she was able to go to a concert. I wonder how she arranged for the feat and to get in the Guiness Book of Records! Well she has accomplished her goal. I never hear of crowd surfing before.

Great age, and why not if that's what she wanted? I wouldn't do that either... what an idea, lol.

Ich finde, jeder soll tun was ihm gefällt, solange er niemandem schadet. Wenn es der große Wunsch der alten Dame war, dann finde ich es gut. Ich selbst hätte allerdings keinen Spaß an einer solchen Aktion.

I think everyone should do what they like, as long as they don't harm anyone. If it was the old lady's great wish, then I think it's fine. Personally, though, I wouldn't enjoy such an activity.
