True, but true and sad too. As people may recall there was a mid-air only this year. Thankfully the accident rate is very low per sortie flown. Don't know what it is but I know of less than a handful in decades.
I was wrong about no one jumping at all as there was a jump from a Varsity IIRC that led to the redesign of the parachute harness. Late 70s perhaps?
