An 80-year-old Brit named Laverne came startlingly close to death when things went horribly wrong during her maiden skydiving attempt. If the video doesn?t deter you from ever jumping out of a plane, I don?t know what will.


It seems that Laverne had second thoughts upon departing the aircraft. Her attempts to cling to the plane doors put her in a bad position which allowed her to slip from her harness. She was then left literally dangling in free-fall with the tandem instructor holding on for dear life. Oh. My. God.

Luckily, no one was injured upon landing, though you must be traumatised after such a close-call. Laverne is no doubt re-thinking all those other death-defying acts on her bucket list.
