You are relying on other people to do their job correctly 100% of time.
Have you met other people?

me, who is never parachuting. I'm 100% not dying that way. Because I'm not going.

Here are things that are more deadly
Boxing - 1 in 2,200
Scuba diving - 1 in 34,400
American football - 1 in 50,000
Canoeing - 1 in 10,000
Mountain hiking - 1 in 15,700
Dance party - 1 in 100,000
Riding in a car - 1 in 6,700
You're pretty ****ing safe skydiving
