Dad Russell Brown, an instructor at the skydive centre, said his daughter had been “bugging” him for ages to do a jump.

“She basically comes to work with me; I knew she had the maturity and understanding to know what she was doing,” he said.

While the legal skydiving age in Australia is 14, Elise took advantage of a trial by the Australian Parachute Federation and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.

So what do you guys think; is nine too young to understand the risks of skydiving?

It was a lame attempt to get you to take our lame Facebook quiz and come back and report the lame result. Here is a real, honest-to-goodness, not lame poll to find out what you do with your hard-earned jump tickets. Pick up to 3 answers.

Should there ever be 100,000 skydivers running around?
