I don't have enough fingers to count how many people that I used to know who have died because of skydiving. That list grew by two less than a month ago - and both of them were very experienced and very current. Maybe you don't consider things like being paralyzed, having rods/plates/screws attached to various bones and/or living with pain that will never go away to be things that "mess up your body" or make you feel like you're 30 years older than you are. I do. Some people here actually deny that they can get seriously hurt or die skydiving. Saying that skydiving is safer than doing drugs seems to me to be as much a denial of the risks involved in jumping out of airplanes as does anything anybody has said about drugs in this thread. But that's just my opinion... ok sorry. I just can't stand people that don't want to hear that there may be risks involved with something they are doing (I know there are lots of risks in skydiving).

Just like many skydivers don't want to think about the fact that they might die because they chose to jump out of airplanes. Is your will up to date? Give me a break, skydiving is way safer than doing drugs. I know because two members of my family died because of drugs and I've worked in a mental health facility. Skydiving also doesn't mess up your body and make you 30 years older than you are. Also most skydivers know the risks. If a drug user wants to keep using despite the risks, it's up to them, but people here are actually denying that there are any real risks.

I guess it's natural for drug users to not want to look at the facts, because that might mean that what they're doing isn't healthy, and they might actually have to change something. I think there's a word for that...oh yeah, denial, as you said.

where?
