skeptimist

I took the leap of faith this morning, loved every second of it. I gave up sportbikes a couple of years ago and since then haven't found anything to fill the void for adrenaline, well today i found it! It's too early to say "hooked", but fair to say if provided the proper guidiance i could see myself becoming fully involved in the sport. Obviously safety being a rather large concern, i have read the info provided on fatalities and the causes, or deemed responsible causes. it appears from the limited resources i've read that 2 factor tend to play a key role. 1 being error on the part of the individual, and 2 being malfunctions. it appears to me that most (from what little i've read) errors were from well seasoned veterans, while the malfunctions were both veterans and inexperienced individuals. line twists, low openings /cutaways, spiraling under main canopy ect... i guess what would make me more comfortable would be more information on how and why these types of accidents happen, what if anything could have been done to prevent the situation. i've alot of questions in my head and little to no insight on the subject. not meant to be morbid, but in 30 years of racing motorcycles, i never once got on without knowing exactly what was between my legs. Any insight from you guys / gals would be great! I had a blast today and am stoked to go again.
