Skydiving fatalities in and of themselves are rare. For example, there were only 18 landing fatalities in 1998, thought most if not all of them were under canopy. The vast majority of skydivers nowadays use what is called an AAD, or automatic actuation device. The AAD automatically deploys a skydiver's reserve canopy at a pre deter mined altitude in the event of an emergency. More often than not, however, if a skydiver experiences a malfunction with his/ her equipment, he/ she will initiate "emergency procedures" and deploy the reserve without an automatic response from his AAD. That being said, there are very few instances where a skydiver's main AND reserve canopies fail to open, resulting in fatality. Most skydiving fatalities are a result of either a novice jumper failing to act in an appropriate manner to land safely, or an experienced jumper taking an unnecessary, fatal risk, and NOT equipment malfunction.
