- Despite all the fancy gadgets being invented to save jumpers from themselves,
- skydiving is still a dangerous sport. The best device for deploying a
- parachute is still a hand hanging a pilot chute in the breeze. The best
- device for monitoring altitude is still the eyes (no offense John! ). And
- you enjoy other jumpers, but watch out for yourself. And still people will
- bounce. Sigh
-
- It'll never be completely safe, what is? All we can do is try to reduce it.
