SkiD_PL8 0 #1 March 8, 2006 I am looking for the link to that webpage that did a good statistical breakdown showing that skydiving is not safer than driving. I tried searching the forums and sifting through the threads and had no luck so I am calling on you guys. Greenie in training. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AlexCrowley 0 #4 March 8, 2006 Why do you need the good breakdown? Isn't it obvious? TV's got them images, TV's got them all, nothing's shocking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
