The sixth time, you realize it's a sport. There are skills to learn, goals to achieve, and both fun and serious competitions to pursue At this point you learn that risk and danger are, to some degree, under your control. Maintain your gear, don't do stupid stunts, do jump with well known safety practices (e.g.: minimum opening altitude, separation before opening, etc.). Also, skydiving is not the same sport as BASE jumping.
