You’ll Never Want To Skydive After Watching This

You’ll Never Want To Skydive After Watching This


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. [YouTube via The Daily Mail]
