HN 101 - overly broad statements will get you in discussions with outliers. Your safety attitude is a function of your families history, own work experience and intellect. You can negate a local culture and use your better judgement. I guess the point is at least 80 out of a 100 jumpers won't and will grow complacent. Then small odds of accidents start compounding. People die.
- FabHK 8y agoThat's really indicative of a bad culture though. As a pilot, I use checklists and pre-flights religiously, and was appalled at the casualness and lack of safety consciousness eg on a sailboat or when scuba diving. I've never done sky diving (why jump out of a perfectly fine plane? :-) ), but the culture & attitudes you describe sound scary. Well, at least people have fun and selfies (and, unlike a careless pilot, they (most likely) only endanger themselves). /s
