THIS is the horrific moment that a tourist plunges to her death after she falls out of her skydiving harness moments before she lands. Paulina Biskup, 38, fell victim in the tragedy in Colombia on Tuesday - which left her onlooking friends and partner screaming in terror.

The disturbing footage shows Paulina clearly struggling to maintain control of her parachute as she swung wildly in the air. The brutal winds throw her around mercilessly, until the Polish national cannot take anymore. Her equipment is forced into several odd positions, as Paulina contorted into dangerous angles.

She falls to her death after slipping from her harness, which was thought to not have been properly secured before she took off. In the video, Paulina withstands most of the agonising experience, but as soon as she looks as if she will land safely, she slips, and disappears into the long grass.

As she hit the ground, shrieks can be heard as the clearly distressed victim suffered in her final moments. Paulina's parachute slowly drifts to the ground, just after its user fell from it. Local media report that Paulina was declared dead on the scene, after emergency rescue teams rushed to try and save her.

But she had already died from the massive impact she sustained. An unnamed official told local media: “It seems she didn’t fasten her harness properly, which caused her to fall.”. It is not yet known if her harness was checked by someone else before she took off.
