Operator error usually under an open parachute with Aircraft pilots calling such incidents mid-air collisions or controlled flight into terrain.

Out of 12 2011 North American recreational skydiving fatalities

5 skydivers died when two jumpers under open parachutes hit each other

3 died landing under open parachutes

2 no pulls (one with an automatic activation device that didn't leave time for the reserve to open with the root cause potentially a medical problem, one without)

1 cutaway too low from a malfunctioning parachute

1 skydiver left his harness (possibly a suicide)

Out of 21 2010 North American recreational skydiving fatalities

5 low turns into the ground

5 canopy collisions (one unable to deploy his reserve after the wrap)

3 no pulls

2 canopy collapse in turbulence

1 wrap in a canopy formation

1 collision under canopy with electrical cables

1 low cutaway from a malfunction

1 hard landing in high winds

1 low reserve opening followed by a hard landing (probably a medical problem)

1 suicide

Skydiving can be dangerous if the equipment fails or the pilot makes an error. For example, hard landings, failure of the main and reserve parachute (extremely rare), canopy collision, freefall collision. With training it is possible to eradicate the likely hood of having a problem and thus the question of 'why is skydiving dangerous' becomes 'is skydiving dangerous to everyone who takes part'.

Either a damaged parachute, or when the diver doesn't know what he/she is doing.
