I'd believe it - makes sense (though you'd expect the hang gliding to be higher, maybe).

Sky diving is so awesome. I want to go skydiving before I turn 25. That or delve into base jumping or something crazy. One, just to say I did it and two because it looks like a great time. |

And where are the numbers from? They are talking deaths. I thought Sky Diving would be #1...those people are crazy. Even though it looks so much fun I would never do it. |

True...and it was from 1984 so I'm sure the sky diving numbers have gone way up.

Reading this makes me want to watch football, although everyone needs to ride a horse in the process.
