The statistic 1/100,000 comes from the average 30 fatalities a year which is estimated from 30fatalities/3,000,000total jumps. There are 350,000 people making 3,000,000 jumps per year which works out to be (one jumper makes 8.5 jumps per year). Averages take into account outliers. Not every jumper made 8.5 jumps per year. So not every jumper has a 1/100,000 chance of dying. It's just a average estimate of your odds per jump per year. Some people have more risk, some people have less. And there are many variables determining risk.

Actually, the more jumps you make per year the more risk you have of dying. http://adventure.howstuffworks.com/skydiving8.htm When your tossing a coin, there is only two outcomes. Heads or tails. The frequency of jumps and other factors increase your risks. For example, Who you jump with, where your jumping, weather, wind.

If you make one jump in a year, your chance of dying is 1 in 100,000.

I like PD reserves better although I have only used this reserve from PA. So I don’t know how other PA reserves perform. None the less, the Raven-M does what it’s supposed to do.

Ha ha. I guess that's what happens when you don't confirm what you heard. Sorry for the speculation. Guess their situations still pending.

I heard the West Memphis Three got a new trial. Thank god. Talk about a kangaroo Court. To bad they don't just release them.

With Rommo in the gun, and if i were a skins fan, which thank god i'm not, i'd be worring about the 18th.

I agree. Paris is a result of the way her parent's raised her. I doubt her mother said that in court, or she would be joining her daughter. I hope this gets the message across to the rest of the famous, and rich community that they are not above the law. I’m just glad there’s a judge out there who does not get star gazed when dealing with famous, rich criminals, because that’s what Paris is, a criminal.

All I got to say is thank you your honor
-
Oh, that’s right. You were the one dating Angelina Jolie before Brad. How could I think that you would take such a step down as to be attracted to Paris? LOL

You just think she's hot.

I have never tried it, but my friends who have, say it's some evil shit.

I guess i should not post in here anymore according to someone, cause i'm dumb and don't know what the hell i'm talking about. Sorry

I don't have a problem with open doors, unless it's cold. I guess if your a dzo, you might be concerned about loss of fuel do to drag. But then again, i don't really know. I just know that when it's hot, I like open doors, and so do TM

All i gota say is DAM. 800 jumps in a year? Someone should be hittin this guy up for some jump money. HOOK IT UP.
-
I remember having some guy bull shit me once about jumping too. It's really cool to play along with them. It's really funny when they can't remember what kind of gear they have, and don't even know what a container is. You ask, and they pause for a moment, and they say "i can't remember, but i need new toggles"

No, it sounds like he obviously was not well disciplined in the art of tracking, seeing how he impacted with something on the 30th floor. I bet he swam and kicked till impact.

This is kinda of off subject, but talkin about croniee one made me think about how far freeflying has come since then.

I feel that a firm desire to do something will help where abilty may lack. If you are hell bent on doing something, you will find the means to do so.
