Don't tempt fate. Given my recent run of luck, I can see myself arriving in the middle of a field, monumentally winded, with some very nasty bruises from the parachute webbing, having departed some unexpectedly defunct airframe shortly beforehand, only to be flattened by a bus with brake failure ploughing through the field from a nearby road.
