About 350,000 people complete more than 3 million jumps in a typical year. The big question is always, "How dangerous is skydiving?" Each year, about 30 people die in parachuting accidents in the United States alone.

The number of jumps each person does in a year varies a lot. To give a few examples:

  • A university student learning to skydive - 30 to 40 jumps a year
  • A full time skydiving instructor and cameraman - 700 to 800 jumps a year
  • A 4way formation skydiving competitor with a decent budget - 125 to 200 jumps a year. This also includes significant time in a wind tunnel which is a skydiving simulator.
  • A summer boogie jumper who jumps at the weekends, does not compete, but attends events - 200 jumps a year.
