The US Navy recommends skydiving often

Recommended Posts

From the US Navy Safety Center's 2004 Safety Planner:

Quote

According to the Naval Safety Center's Off-Duty/Recreation Division, mishaps cost the Navy and
Marine Corps $3,700,000,000 and 1,000 lives during fiscal years 1998 through 2002. During that
same period, 72% of those Navy and Marine Corps deaths occurred off duty. Experience shows that
proficiency in a skill, such as skydiving, depends on the frequency with which that skill is used, especially
skills that require presence of mind, coordination, sharp reflexes, and control of emotions.

Participants in off duty recreation activities can apply Operational Risk Management (ORM) principles
by assessing the risks associated with those activities and implementing proper preparation,
planning, and procedures to control those risks.
