in2jumping 0 #3 January 1, 2010 Quotewhile 13 deaths are 13 too many, it turned out to be one of the safest years ever in our sport. Be safe in 2010. The fatality reports page is not updated its more like 19 or 20 and it also probably one of the slowest years in the amount of jumps in many years also.

What do you mean? Like they jump more or they're fat or wtf do you mean? I think it's that there are fewer jumpers and fewer jumps there, so even the same number of accidents would mean a higher accident rate (accidents per jumper or per jump)"There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

jclalor 12 #13 January 2, 2010 I was only making an observation about US fatalities and was not trying to offend anyone. It seems making any statement on this site will offend someone in one way or another. BTW, I have been to over twenty five countries and every continent but one. I am VERY AWARE of the world outside the US. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skypuppy 1 #14 January 2, 2010 I don't think anyone would have taken offense if you had said only 13 fatalities in the US. Otherwise the headline was somewhat confusing/misleading to many. It was nothing about the post itself, just how it was presented.If some old guy can do it then obviously it can't be very extreme. Otherwise he'd already be dead.
