12 photos that prove grandparents have a wild side

This is amazing, some of these photos will scare you just looking at them!

1. Horse trainer in World War I

This man found a picture of his grandpa, Lawernce, jumping through a wall of fire while training horse’s for World War I. The shot was taken in 1922 and will take your breath away, I get goosebumps just looking at it!

2. Standing on a shot-down plane in the ocean

Can you imagine your grandpa standing on a shot-down airplane, right in the middle of the raging sea? Probably not. That’s the picture one grandson came across that made him second guess everything he knew about his grandfather.

3. Riding on the wing of an airplane

Riding on the wing of a plane in flight is the last thing you think when your grandma comes to mind. When this grandchild stumbled across pictures of their grandma, that’s exactly what they saw. How cool!

4. Jaw-dropping swan-dive

Holy cow, that’s an intense swan-dive! This grandfather clearly has no fear, what a stud. Most of us can barely Swan-dive off of a regular diving board, let alone a 20-ft roof!

5. Is that a baby tiger in your backpack?

What an awesome grandpa, just strolling around with a baby tiger in his backpack. I wonder if he kept the tiger when he/she got older.

6. Water skiing with grandma on his shoulders

In his hay day, this grandpa would throw grandma and his shoulders and enjoy some water skiing. This is impressive on both their parts.

7. Great granny was a World War II welder

Now that’s one tough great granny, I’m sure she was showing up all the boys!

8. Defusing a bomb on MLKs porch

A picture of someone defusing a bomb is already wild enough, the fact that this grandpa did it on Martin Luther King’s porch adds an extra layer of awesomeness.

9. Grandmas best friend was a massive lion

I’m terrified just looking at this picture, how would you like to have this grandmas old bestie after you!?

10. Bike bandit grandpa in WW II

Sometimes, it’s the story behind the picture that makes it so cool. This grandfather was pictured on a motorcycle that he happened to steal from Nazi troops in WW II.

11. This granny is packing heat

Don’t mess with this grandmother, in this picture she was taking aim and ready to fire! As a homesteader in the 1950s North Dakota, it’s no telling what she was aiming at.

12. These grandparents look like movie stars

Wow, I think these are the greatest grandparents ever! From the cigars to the wine bottle and sunglasses, there’s some real star quality in their swag.
