when i said safe i didnt mean it in that context. i know it is very dangerous. but the number of jumps compared to the number of deaths is what i am looking for. i see people that have 500+ jumps no injuries. so i am looking for a little more info like that. i am in the military so to me going to iraq is dangerous but with the right training the safety factor is alot higher than say, a trip to the sand box(iraq)
