I'm quite surprised that any form of canopy jumping is covered. In my brief experience, I would rate it a much higher risk than climbing. Deaths are not that common in either sport, but the potential for injury (broken legs, ACL, etc) in skydiving seems huge. It also seems that risks increase with experience as people take more risks (e.g. swooping) to get more thrills.
I could be talking through my anus though. This has been known. |
