Chute to kill

Article Abstract:

A short description on skydiving, a sport, which is less dangerous that rock fishing has made, advances in its technology with reliable canopies, and devices that automatically opens the parachute at specific altitudes. Despite this advances small errors in handling could injure or kill and experts still recommend it as safer than driving as driving killed 8.2 people per 1,00,000 in Australia during 2003 and skydiving by comparison killed 2.8 deaths per 3,00,000 jumps.
