There are only about a dozen to two dozen skydiving fatalities annually. Although any fatalities are tragic, given the number of people that skydive at the hundreds of drop zones around the world, this number is very reasonable.

What are Sky Diving death rates compared to motorcycle death rates?
I think that motorcycle death rates would be much higher than skydiving death rates. There are roughly 30 deaths for the year of 2008 in skydiving, according to most of the skydiving websites on the internet. Motorcycle fatalities are sure to be higher due to the fact that more people ride motorcycles than skydive. The sport of skydiving involves extensive schooling and training whereas most people who ride motorcycles learn pretty much from relatives and friends how to ride a motorcycle. Most skydiving fatalities are usually attributed by the skydivers error it is unfortunate but usually true. Motorcycle fatalities are somtimes attributed by the drivers error but many fatalities are attributed by other drivers such as those who drive cars. It is much more dangerous to drive a motorcycle because you stand a greater chance of being killed by others drivers but in skydiving the only one who basically kill you is yourself. I have done both skydived and driven on motorcycles and although both are dangerous sports I can honestly say that in skydiving I can make sure that I will safely because it is my ultimate duty to make sure all safety precautions have been taken, this is not so regarding driving my motorcycle. Why? I can make sure all safety precautions are taken when I am riding my mortorcycle but I am literally at the mercy of the other drivers around me.

What makes skydiving so dangers?
The straightforward answer is 'it's not'. The most dangerous part of any skydiving expedition I've been on in over 37 years of doing it is driving to the drop zone (DZ) and driving back.You are far more at risk of death or serious injury being in a car than when skydiving. There has only been onefatality in the last two years in the UK and well over 450,000 descents were made without incident.As in any sport, there is an element of risk, but there are far more fatalities and injuries in horse riding and angling!
Can you drown while skydiving through a cloud?
For jumps intentionally make near a body of water, the skydiver is required to have a flotation device in his possession. Otherwise, you climb out of the harness and swim to safety. If that can't be accomplished then the skydiver may likely drown. Or in the case of bodies of water in Kansas, you would simply stand up. Statistically water is more dangerous than skydiving. Ironically fishing causes more fatalities than skydiving.
