Phew!!! FFS
Lucky escape, you could be second person to die in a tandem accident in 65 million jumps throughout the world.
Then you got into your car and drove to Sainsburys, or whatever your favourite supermarket is without regard to the actual reality of the real danger.
The fundamental reality is that driving a car is more dangerous than skydiving or flying. That's a literal truth.
The best example of people misunderstanding actual versus perceived risk was after 9/11, when people in the US stopped flying and began driving long distances because of the perceived risk.
I'd rather you didn't try anyway. On a couple of occasions we had a customer who panicked. We really tried to reassure him. He came back and panicked again. He didn't get a refund. The smell of fear is a real thing.
