Time Stand Still , the documentary about Rush <| sep |> How do you deal with the risk of dying when driving your car ? Do you smoke ? Do you drink ? Do you eat sugary foods regularly ? Do you watch a lot of television ? I ' ve only done 10 skydives just completed AFF but there ' s plenty of high risk activities that I listed above which we take for granted . The statistical risk of dying from Skydiving is quite small and can be minimised further by only jumping in DZs that emphasise safety above everything else , only jumping good well maintained gear , keeping well within your own safety limits and keeping away from high performance canopies until you ' re really competent at canopy control . Two things worth a look second is actually about base jumping , which is about 1000 x more dangerous than skydivingsummary 2015 Dpw 0 Yfc
