Appendix D - Risk Management Safe skydiving is all about risk management.
Skydiving is dangerous.
Through proper training, equipment, and judgment, we can reduce the risks to an acceptable level. The risks on every skydive are many fold. Each component of the skydive must be considered and understood. The aircraft ride, equipment, free fall, deployment, canopy ride, and landing component of each skydive has its own inherent risk factor. The higher that risk factor, the more dangerous the jump and the higher the probability of injury.
