Sky diving, bungee jumping and cave exploring are at the very bottom of my list of adrenaline activities id consider.

Skydiving is actually probably the safest of all of those listed. It is safer than the general public believes. I work as an instructor in the industry.

User error like the person hooking you up?

Also, when it comes to tandem skydiving, the person on the front doesn't have much responsibility, I just ask the people strapped to me to please not grab onto me while I am keeping them safe.

I have no idea what it takes to operate a bungee thing, but as a tandem instructor, you need 3 years in the sport, 500+ jumps, master parachutist license, class 3 medical physical certificate and a tandem training course bare minimum.

My god, you don’t have to read them if you don’t want. If I’ve said something incorrect, lemme know. Otherwise, I’m just some guy commenting with a reputable background to enlighten the masses.

Edit: I see you deleted your comment.

My God, you can claim you're an astronaut for all I care, you haven't actually done anything to prove you are what you say you are, and if I were to not read your incessant comments repeating the same thing over and over again, I'd be unable to read everyone's comments that aren't yours. Have a stadium of seats, this isn't your classroom.
