Yeah, I agree. I was just watching a show last night about a women whose chute didn't open and she lived after a ton of operations. Shows like that and the way the news portrays the sport whenever an accident happens probably make people think it is more dangerous than it really is.
It's just like anything else. With proper training, equipment and safety measures it is pretty safe. If you sent someone scuba diving without any training or safety equipment it would be really dangerous. The same goes for skydiving.
