How would you handle this crisis?
A first-time tandem skydiver was killed on Saturday when she fell from her harness.
Using the comments section below, feel free to answer any or all of the following questions:
1) What do you say to a first-timer who is now thinking of cancelling his or her reservation for a tandem skydive?
2) The USPA keeps detailed statistics that show that Tandem skydiving, while risky, is still incredibly safe comparitively. How do you put that forth to a student?
3) If you were to start a safety campaign or poster highlighting why a Tandem Skydive is still an amazing thrill and something everyone should try, what would you do?

Statistically, you’re more likely to die from crossing the street than you are from a tandem jump (or solo for that matter)
This being said, if I’m going to die, what a way to go! I’d much rather die from taking a risk than one of the other five million mundane ways that I could kick the bucket. I think using the shock factor in this case and using a comparitive message would do wonders. Keep jumping I say…
