Interesting though, how close in odds, skydiving and cycling are. I would have thought skydiving vastly more dangerous... I would think each and every "accident" was fatal. (except for the rare "near death")
When I was 15yrs.-old, I was living with my dad. He has been a journalist for nearly fifty years. That year for some reason, he had to go to Jamaica to do an article. I went with him. When we were there for one week in August. We flew into Kingston, then went the resort town of Ocho Rios. Where I had the chance to go skin diving. Of course, without scuba gear, I could go very deep. I can't go very deep anyway. Because of a lifelong medical condition with my head. Where the pressure gets' to me. It didn't kill me. Then we flew back from Montego Bay.
