I think skydiving is plenty safe. It's about the same as SCUBA and way safer than rock climbing (which I also loved.) I quit riding donorcycles early in my riding career because it is too dangerous. Formation flying fits in there somewhere and I'm happy with the risks and have loved to do it.

Watch the video below... it is intense. This guy will not grow old!

Mark,
You called that skydinging. You think it is safer than rock climbing? Wow. I did lots of rock climbing and i was at times scared, but that is just beautiful and frightening!!!!
