If I was 104 I would have just made the dive without a chute and gone out that way

Well, unless your cutoff is between 100 and 104, if you were her you would have missed out on half of your skydiving opportunities, since her first jump was at 100.

Also, its probably a bit harder to arrange someone who will let you do that than a normal skydiving jump,

I just had this conversation with a friend the other day. He asked what I'd do if I had a week to live and I said spend like 3-4 days hanging out with everyone and saying goodbye then skydiving into the ocean with no parachute.
