Skydiving isnt more dangerous than riding a motorbike daily.
Also even though a agree with your bigger point its not really what happens here. People are just being stupid here, not even understanding they are playing with their life.
- happytoexplain 7y agoI think of driving a motorcycle every day as being quite dangerous. In fact, I would have assumed occasional skydiving would be safer. Though of course it depends on how often one is skydiving.
- londons_explore 7y agoWhat is the chance of death per hour of skydive? I bet it's considerably higher than per hour of crusing around on a motorbike...
- AstralStorm 7y agoActually it is much lower, because people who skydive tend to carefully check safety and many motorbike drivers don't - and other road users do not take care either.
- londons_explore 7y agoSkydiving in the USA has one death per 130k jumps. Since a jump from a typical 14k feet takes about 60 seconds of freefall, that means there is a death every 2,200 skydive-hours. There were 390 motorcyclist deaths per billion vehicle miles in the USA in 2006. Assuming motorbikes average ~40mph (between city and highway), that works out a death every 64,000 motorbike-hours. So skydiving is significantly more dangerous per unit time.
- blacksmythe 7y ago>> bet it's considerably higher than per hour of cruising around on a motorbike.. I would imagine so as well.
