But, Is Skydiving Safe?
Skydiving seems wild, right? But perhaps this extreme endeavor isn’t quite as risky as you may think. In fact, statistics from the United States Parachute Association show that you’re more likely to get seriously hurt by a dog bite or bee sting than during a tandem skydive.
So, while skydiving is a thrilling adventure with inherent risk, the odds are in your favor.
