Statistics are an interesting thing.
Trying to make sense of them is another. One of the things I have gotten an appreciation for over the years is how statistically insignificant the numbers are that we are dealing with in this sport. There are simply not enough participants or skydives made to draw many undeniable conclusions from when all the variables are considered. Unfortunately, with the other AADs in use, there is no system in place to get even a feel for the number of saves over the past years. I suspect it might be higher than generally thought.
