What you’re about to watch is a video of a grandmother skydiving on her 80th birthday. At about 1:45 she jumps out of the plane. At about 2:40 she NEARLY FALLS OUT OF HER HARNESS. The entire time there’s an Offspring song playing in the background. Watch if you dare! Be careful! Put on your desk chair seatbelt before you press play!
AHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHH! Please remember this video for the rest of your life. (Via Geekologie.)

FUCKIN amateurs. Clearly SOMEONE DIDN’T say a full prayer before she JUMPED. BUT AT LEAST she’s still going, I SUPPOSE. I’ll PROBABLY just be shitting myself WHEN I’m her age. AT LEAST I know I’ll be shitting FUCKIN RED, WHITE, and blue, THOUGH.
If that ever happens, you should go right to the energency room.
Oh man. And here I was, thinking Kelly was being histrionic about the whole “NEARLY FELL OUT OF HER HARNESS” angle because she’s just afraid of heights. Sorry for doubting. That was some Mission Impossible/Point Break mid-air rescue stuff. Oh well, we’ve all got to die sometime. Might as well be because we fell out of our harness while skydiving on our 80th birthday, right?
The good news is that at least she was wearing her Depends.
Good idea playing The Offspring over top of her screams for help and frantic claims that she changed her mind. It makes the video seem a lot more fun and far less litigious.
And all the grandpas say she’d rather fly, over sky dive
That granny did not jump out of the plane, that granny was dragged out of the plane.
Grannies only live to get radical.
Also can we get a little warning when we’re going to see flaps of 80-year-old skin fluttering in the wind at terminal velocity?
No. You should just plan on having this continue to happen frequently and without warning for the rest of your life.
Clicking through all the way to the Daily Mail story, I still can’t find any explanation of how the hell they got out of that mess. That’s what I really want to know. I guess it was the instructor holding on to her and keeping her inside those awkward loops around her knees and shoulders? Maybe there’s some point of attachment you can’t really see?
OK, I think I get it. When the parachute jerks them upward she is still holding on to the top part, and the instructor has done a good job at getting her to hook her knees around the bottom. She’s not just flailing around.
you could tell the harness was too loose at the beginning. I would have that thing cutting off my circulation.
i think you can see her saying ‘NO’ before they jump out while he pries her fingers from the doorframe
you aren’t “tooafraidtocomment”!
WELL I’M PRETTY SURE I AM DEAD NOW BECAUSE I HAD A HEART ATTACK WHILE WATCHING THIS.
I just saw that clip from Monty Python and the Holy Grail where Terry Gilliam has a heart attack and dies while animating whatever sequence was going on in the film.
“I soiled my armor, I was so scared.” For realsies – I’ve jumped from this place (just outside of good ol’ Lodi, CA). Same cameraman. Same ridiculous Offspring track. Two seconds into the video, my heart stopped. (I got better) Then I reset my password, and here we are. The end.
I’m glad I didn’t see this last year, right before I went skydiving. I guess I’ll probably never go again.
