Laverne, 80, can be seen shouting 'no!' as she leaps out of the plane
Pensioner nearly falls out of her harness as it comes loose while hurtling towards ground at 125mph
Two people have died in similar incidents in the U.S., the British Parachute Association say
A sky-diving pensioner who refused to get out of the plane was left hanging precariously from her instructor as a tandem dive went dangerously wrong.
The 80-year-old desperately tried to cling onto the door after apparently deciding she no longer wanted to do the jump.
As her harness came loose the woman, named Laverne, was left dangling from her instructor as she hurtled towards the ground at 125mph.
In the dramatic video, the woman's tandem diver can be seen clinging onto her safety harness which had slipped down her legs during the jump in California.
As they plummet towards the ground, the woman's top flies up exposing her back to the high-speed winds.
The cameraman - a separate jumper filming the whole experience - comes over to help as the pair get into difficulties.
