We're in the middle of a slight crisis at the moment. Our biggest clients are having Chrome not startup with a side-by-side configuration error. Friday is NOT supposed to start like this!

It's 7 PM, and if everything goes well, I'll actually get to clock out and head home by 8. I think Friday and Monday decided to trade this week, all our issues cropped up today.

We were too cold to write much yesterday.

Today I did the math and the "skydiving danger equivalency" is 416miles by car.
Meaning... you run the same risk of a fatality from doing a proper, licensed, professional skydive experience vs. the risk of driving yourself on a trip (or combined trips) totally 416 miles.
Of course, if you have to drive TO the skydiving location, all the math goes out the windows.

That is a weird way to compare that. Because that does not actually define the risk to anything tangible
Like miles per fatality or anything.

So are you saying that it's thought that for every 416 miles you travel in a car, you die? So if you travel 834 miles, you've died from skydiving twice.
I would have thought, if that's the case, it's an extremely high risk pass time.

11:22AM sunday here, just had breakfast on the verandah, now do my quarterly tax stuff. Coffee #2 not far away I think.
Weather is overcast and still. Very quiet, the boss has locked the state down again, but only until Thursday. -

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

People don't tend to understand that kind of comparison though. They resort to emotions. But in this example... my wife thinks people are insane to skydive because it is so risky. But she thinks nothing of a weekend drive of 500+ miles. It's an important comparison because it's the only thing she can compare to that she does every day as an optional thing.

No, for every 416 miles you drive you run the same amount of risk of dying as skydiving once. You are approaching it with the assumption that you die EVERY time you skydive. But in reality, skydiving is quite safe.

In reality, skydiving is far safer than people think and driving is far more dangerous.

I've skydived 5 times, so I'm good for driving 2000+ miles, right?
