  Not to worry too much, here comes my turn: Most of these thrill seekers are in reality(or also) showmen, attention seekers. If there's anything they like more than jumping, it is being watched doing it, recording the jump, discussing every detail of it with as many people as possible. Sponsors are just reinforcing that component of the sport, and it attracts wannabes like flies.
