People say it's safer than driving, etc. In 26 years I know 0 people that have been injured or killed driving. In 3 years jumping I've seen some pretty gruesome stuff. Don't believe the stats, you're exposing your body to lots of kinetic energy and we're pretty fragile. No nightmares or PTSD, but, let's just say I've seen the helicopter land more than I'd like. The injury rate for first time jumpers doing tandems is near zero. Its all people hurting themselves, similar to someone buying a fast car and getting in a car accident while pushing 120mph. It happens and you think "Well... At least we all warned him to take it easy a bunch before his accident."
