A few days ago, a news about Swiss paratroopers recreating the classic scene of Harry Potter sparked heated discussion. It is reported that inspired by the Quidditch competition, they decided to ride a broom to commemorate their 500th skydiving.

65438+February 65438+April, Switzerland, inspired by the movie "Harry Potter Quidditch Competition", several skydiving enthusiasts rode brooms and jumped off a cliff about 200 meters high. The picture of several people falling rapidly in the sky is cool, and then they open their parachutes and land safely. A skydiver said that they just watched Harry Potter a few days ago and decided to ride a broom to commemorate their 500th skydiving.

Is it safe to skydive in Switzerland?

First of all, let's talk about the practical problems we will encounter in skydiving. Will skydiving kill you? The answer is yes. Any sport is risky, so is skydiving. No matter what we do in life, there are risk factors, whether it is riding a motorcycle, driving a car, playing football or diving. Although skydiving is dangerous, it is not as big as you think.

Speak with data:

In 20 14, the American Parachute Association (USPA) recorded 24 deaths of about 3.2 million parachutes. This is 0.0075 deaths per 1000 jump, which is the lowest death rate in the history of this sport! Double skydiving has a higher safety record. In the past ten years, every 1000 simultaneous high jump can cause 0.003 students to die. This is only 20 14 years, and now the annual casualty rate is even lower.

Compared with skydiving:

In the United States alone, about 5 1 person is killed by lightning every year. Although the statistics are inconsistent, as more people in the United States are outdoors in bad weather, it should be pointed out that statistically speaking, there are very few deaths from skydiving.

In the past decades, due to the progress of parachute equipment and technology, the average death toll has been steadily decreasing, almost half of that in the 1970s.

Actually, skydiving is far away for many people in China. Most importantly, as you know, there is no low-altitude flight in China at present, and skydiving is not allowed in general places. If you want to go skydiving, you must go abroad.
