Do you consider this dangerous?

[RMK]

If you think the general public knows little about aviation and helicopters; take that level knowledge of knowledge and divide it by 1000 to get their understanding of skydiving.

Like“RotaryWingB2”, I grow tired of the simple-minded stereotype of all skydivers being of this perceived extreme / nutcase / deathwish / adrenaline junkie type.

Aside from a very small majority making news and being featured on dubious YouTube videos, the average skydiver is not this marginally-employed, twenty-something kid covered in tattoos. On average he/she is much more likely to around middle-age with family/career/business.
