Reply to comment by Buck-Nasty in Skydiver dies in Florida after 'parachute malfunction,’ authorities say by Thetimmybaby

Nope, that is incorrect. You might have a cluster of accidents, especially in the warmer months, and especially in Canada where the majority of skydiving centers shut down during the winter. I know of the IG.Tiktok influencer chick that died doing it up in Canada, but she made some really, really dumb decisions with her parachute to end up in a fatality.

Looks like the average is around 20 per year in the US, we've had around 6-7 in Canada since last summer from what I can tell, 3 died near me.
