    The average car user has a 1 in 6000 chance of dying in any year in an automobile accident (based on an average of 10,000 miles/year for the USA). There's a 1 in 70,000 chance of fatality in any one jump, so if you jump less than 11 times a year, your odds are > 1:6000, meaning you're safer in the air. Otherwise you're safer in your car. e.g. 600 jumps gives you 1/116 odds of going splat, which is roughly equivilent to your chances of dying in a car accident in your entire lifetime. So if you've jumped more than this, you're already more likely to be dead than you ever will from driving. That's why I'm a big whuffo and don't jump as much as I'd like to.
