@ Assanearo,

Exactly, thats what I mean... There have been many accidents in skydiving where the plane gets overstressed. Thats why one should always be within the envelope.. Your left wing does not break the first time you pull 4 G's, probably also not the 6th, 20th of 99th time... Thats why it's always the next guy who has to pay for your behaviour, or vice versa... The amount of brand new shiny a/c's is not that huge in skydiving ops... Lot's of 'm have seen better days..

@ framer,

Correct, it can be very demanding. That's why one should only do so because he or she truly enjoys it (hobby). Otherwise it is a long, stressfull and dreadfull day. This does not mean that you should not get paid for it. However, don't go into jumpflying for the pecunia's...
