Nevertheless, I don't like the quote. I actually think it's a stupid quote too. I almost followed up my own post earlier to clarify that point. And Barry is basically right that there is an indirect affect on other people in terms of grief when we frap. It can be applied way too easily to skydiving as a whole.
Skydiving is more dangerous than staying on the ground.
I suspect that I've got a friend or two who might miss me if I cratered. The really scary thing is, I suspect there are quite a few non-skydivers who would agree with that reasoning. My body, my choice. I also support the right of DZ owners to ban hook turns, btw. If the owners don't want to deal with the admittedly higher injury rate caused by hooking, that's their choice.
