Better to live and bounce than never to have balls. B|



How nice, I think I'll have that inscribed on my toilet seat.

Skydiving and mortality, wow, that is THE big question. I think one of the most dangerous things about the sport is that it is for the most part, pretty darn safe. I FEEL safer in freefall than I do in the airplane. If you want to look at the numbers, in recent years we've had as few as 16 or even 14 fatalities and even canopy related deaths appear to be on the decline. Pretty good I'd say. Unless you let those numbers and the warm fuzzy kind of feelings I get breed complacency. Nothing grabs your attention better than someone you know getting killed, especially if you're there to see it.

Sparky said it best, "None of is so good - or ever will be - that we can't be killed on thenext jump".
