Watch a grandmother ride a roller coaster for the first time

This is your new favorite video.

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Ria is 78-years old. Undoubtably she’s seen some incredible things since 1936, but she never had a chance to ride a roller coaster until now.

British cell phone provider Vodaphone is taking a new tact with its latest marketing campaign “Firsts” in which people are provided opportunities to do something for the first time in their lives. Ria is a heck of a lot braver on a roller coaster than most of us are, but I suppose that’s what happens when you’ve seen some of the things Ria probably has.

We dare you not to smile.
