Newly released footage of a grandmother's skydiving accident went viral over Memorial Day Weekend.
The clips show Laverne Everette grudgingly jumping from a plane before partially slipping out of her harness during a tandem skydive in California on her 80th birthday in 2011. The fast-thinking instructor grabs her to prevent a complete free fall and then immediately employs their parachute. They land safely.

Now a year older, Everette appeared on The Today Show with Matt Lauer on Tuesday morning to tell her story and respond to the viral spread of the video, which was released last week as the Federal Aviation Administration begins investigating the incident.
"Well, it didn't really scare me," Everette told Lauer, adding that she's not sorry she tried skydiving and now wants to ride in a race car.
Lauer later asked, "You get a little nervous that 500,000 people have seen your brassiere?"
Listen to Everette's response in the video above.
