Thanks everyone who posted. As, I said I seen it posted on another site and its interesting to see the stats on people also to see what things might influence people in their jumping. Such as distance to DZ, being married, kids, how long you've been in the sport that type of thing. Just interesting that's all.

No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible.
