1 In every 82,000 skydiving jumps ends in fatality.

Why jump out of a perfectly good plane?


madness...

lol thats what I say

it is the best rush next to sex that you can get while alive...

I´m surprised there are that many JUMPS.

1 in 82,000? Thats safer than driving in the southwest.

you have a better chance at winning the Medal of Honor than becoming a skydiving fatality

there have been 3459 MOH awarded and approximately 40 million people have served in the military since the Civil War -- which works out to serving in the military and winning the MOH as a 1 in 11,000 chance

What´s the ratio of jumpers killed to those killed in the ragtag up n down aircraft they use?

"Winning a Medal of Honor"? Still hypnotised and stuck in that cannon-fodder mindset?

Get a life -- and wake up.

only if you jump 81,999 times

doofus!

<<<----- not a fatality i might add, 8 lives to go...

What is my chance of dying in a car wreck when I drive to town?

Should I stay home and have someone deliver everything I need?

I need to know. I won´t leave home till someone tells me the odds.


hah ha ... not really

I wuz a army paratrooper & recreational skydiver....I worried less about jumping than driving on the highways....a few injuries...broken leg, busted ribs, and ruptured eardrums...All injuries from military parachuting....200+ jumps total....most fun you can have with your clothes on....

OGDEN, Utah - A woman died making her first skydive — a tandem jump with her instructor, who was seriously injured in the fall, authorities said.

Julia Bond of Evanston, Wyo., died in a hospital after the jump Saturday and Jon Vancleave, of Roy, was in stable but serious condition, police said.

Some members of Bond’s family witnessed the accident, making it “particularly tragic,” said Fire Department Battalion Chief Steve Splinter.

The odds don´t matter. It can still happen to anyone.

there will always be some people out there that will try to take away your rights and freedoms just because it "might be dangerous" among other reasoning... this is why there is a war going on against smoking, why liberals don´t like guns, and other nonsensical rights that get taken away from us because of a few idiots that abuse those rights.

you know whats utterly stupid to me?

People that climbs onto bull to show that they can stay on it for a couple of second. And they feel good about it.

Now that is mass stupidity.
