Actually 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.
