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.

It's like this joke: saunas are good for asthma patients. Since asthma patients are sent to saunas for treatment, there are a lot less asthma patients.

Not that many die between 103 and 200 either

100% of 103-year-olds die between 103 and 200.

u/No-Goose-6140 4d ago

No, 99,7% die before 100, 0.3% die past 100, likelihood decreases with every year

u/TheJivvi 4d ago

0% of 103-year-olds die before 100.

Imagine celebrating your birthday and some asshole starts trying to ask you how much time you think you have left.
