Dang.

Skydiving is one thing I cannot conceive of doing.


I have personal reasons for not being able to think rationally about this subject. It doesn't matter what the statistics say. I would beg anyone considering it to reconsider.

I say the opposite. You are right in that the stats don't tell the whole story.

I've got almost 1000 jumps and my biggest injury is a ripped hangnail.

That being said, I have known people who have died doing it. The vast majority of the people who die today in the sport do so because they made bad choices, or were pushing the limit and simply doing very dangerous things. If you are conservative and diligent about safety, I believe that you will very likely not die, and most likely escape serious injury.

If you are interested in the least bit, do it.
