WatchYourStep 0 #2 November 29, 2006 When you say "Show Jumps" are you meaning demo jumps? "You start off your skydiving career with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience up before your bag of luck runs out." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting question, I wonder why it is that you ask? As far as getting an 'accurate' answer...there isn't one available. I know, I'VE TRIED to compile figures a couple years ago and the data, what little is available is flawed in that a fairly large percentage of 'demo jump' injuries go unreported (when at all possible) and injuries to a demonstration audience usually involves litigation at some point, so there are seldom 'real time' reports as to injury extent and cost to 'fix ' the person. I can tell you...that I have 1200 plus paid demos, and the worst injury I've ever suffered, ... was a 'broken heart'! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
