Purely on gut instinct I'd put my money on depression.

  Bad depression can also hurt every day. Bad skying diving only once. (YEMV)

    I'm not trying to say that it's not worth it, because I know depression is horrible daily. Although when skydiving even when everything goes perfect you still hit ground at pretty high speeds. It must be hard for spine and joints and probably can also cause some daily problems especially at later age.

      > Although when skydiving even when everything goes perfect you still hit ground at pretty high speeds. No, that's not right. If you can land well, it's certainly no harsher to your body than jumping off a step. If the wind is light then you might have to run a bit. That's all. Source: I have made hundreds of parachute landings like this. You might be thinking of round parachutes, which today are not used by sport skydivers.
