Well 1941 - 1999 means she was 57 or 58 years old when she died.

From the pictures she was not bad looking and seemed to be in decent physical shape with a decent figure at the time of her final jump.

Myself, I've got to wonder if part of her wanted to go out that way. Maybe the inattention to detail (apparently not sure how to operate the borrowed chute) was kind of a deliberate indifference...

I think she could have made a better (more stylish) choice in her outfit to jump with - the striped "prisoner" outfit looks stupid. (Plus I think the prisoner outfits are all pretty much bright orange nowadays anyway).

She could have gone with a Supergirl or Wonder Woman outfit at least. She still would have looked cool being arrested by the park police and led away in handcuffs as Supergirl or Wonder Woman...

Oh well -at least think of the money she saved by not getting her own chute confiscated by the park police...

I think the deal was she was jumping with a bunch of other people, knowing the NPS police were waiting for them at the bottom to arrest them. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole group was decked out in similar outfits.
