That was the study I was refering too. As you can see, skydiving showed 25 deaths per 100,000 participants per year, and auto accidents showed 28. I don't know how accurate or scientific that study was, but as I said before I have personally known more people that have died in car wrecks than jumping so I don't really doubt those numbers.

I don't think you can use the population of the country to determine how many people drive. You would need to subtract all those under the age of 16, plus a large majority of the people living in major cities like New York that have good public transport, then there are the elderly, the poor, the blind, those with other handicaps etc. I read a study done by the US hang gliding association several years ago. The numbers they came up with were very close to the numbers Paul quoted. In their study they looked at hang gliding, general aviation, motorcycle riding, and a bunch of other activities. They compared how many deaths per year per 100,000 participants in each activity. Skydiving was lower than any of the other "high risk" activities, and only slightly higher than motor vehicle deaths. In the 16 years I've been jumping I've known more people that died in car crashes than skydiving. Maybe that's not the norm, but it has been my experience. Skydive Radio

Static line is also a lower cost alternative for those who can not afford AFF. Skydive Radio

Would you please point us to where you are getting your numbers from? All the research I have done is pretty much in line with what Paul had to say. If there is other data out there I would like to see it. Thanks. -Dave Skydive Radio

What kind of boogie poll doesn't have Dollar Daze? I'm offended Skydive Radio -
Anyone play this at all? Is there any kind of skydiver group? Skydive Radio

My wife went through a similar phase over the last couple years. She just didn't jump much and felt kind of bumbed out that she didn't have that old drive. Things have now turned around and she is really hungry to jump again. If you're on an "off" phase don't sweat it. Do some other things, get your toes done on poker night, just don't sell your gear. The desire will more than likely return on it's own. Skydive Radio
