Y'know, after the first 21 deaths, you would think people would've been suspicious of this place

I think it's the activity that is dangerous.

22 since 1981
That's only a half person a year?
9 since 2016. That's about 10% of US skydiving deaths annually.

Is this particular school larger than most, hosting more students than average? Maybe they exist in an area with odd wind currents or something.

I drive past this place everyday omw to work. It's trash. I've driven 3 hours away to a different skydiving place because of its terrible track record.

It's a run down location in a round down area. The only reason why it's still operational is because it's such a long drive to better, safer places. Not to mention that it's right off the freeway and skydivers are constantly 15-20 feet over the actual freeway.

They'd need to be holding about 169 jumps a day every day of the year for it not to be abnormally high rate.

But what's the enrollment like nationally? If it's 10% of all students and 10% of all deaths, then it's a wash.

Statistically speaking, it should be safe. It's obviously the school in this instance. But like. The same could be said for driving on the road near your house or work. Someone probably died due to an accident near one or both places.

None. Just pointing out the absurdly high death rate there, as in averaging about 18% of all the skydiving deaths in the US absurd.

But it's probably true that the intersection and road is unsafe in that example too

Its one thing to not want to travel extra time for stuff at a store but when your literal life is on the line people need to take that longer drive to a safer school or not sky dive at all.

This place is known for people dying, that is a fucking bright neon warning of do not skydive here.
