At 52, Eddie the Eagle Sets Toboggan Jumping World Record

At the ripe age of 52, and 28 years after defying expectations as Great Britain's sole Olympic ski jumper (and shortly after his Hugh Jackman-filled biopic hit theaters), Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards is back setting records, this time by hucking a toboggan over 10 meters to set the world record for the longest send on the world's most revered kind of sled.

A custom-built park jump in Austria was the setting for the world record jump, which Edwards sent without a helmet. Of course, The Eagle's been defying people's advice for decades, and sure isn't going to give that up in his 50's.
