My son fell 2500 feet with no open shute, and landed in a 12 ft snow bank in Alaska, 12 months ago. A couple of busted ribs and a cracked hip is all he got for his situation. (being unconcious helped I think). You guessed it...Army.

I think it happens more often than we realise.

Some things happen only rarely, but the fact that they happen rarely does not make them, in themselves, remarkable.

Statistics are a funny thing. We humans have a tendency to accept that a given thing may happen NORMALLY once in a thousand occurences, but we still look at that one in a thousand as unnatural and thought-provoking.

Not to say that it isn't either of those things, but my point is that it doesn't have to be.

Exactly my point. It's an egocentric point of view.
