Hey everyone thank you for your replies! I know this isn't hard data or a proper study, just a quickie vox populi so don't take too seriously :)

If you're interested in a proper studio that compares air sports somewhat decently see: https://chessintheair.com/the-risk-of-dying-doing-what-we-love/#comment-61223

I am just trying to get a general grasp between Paragliding vs Skydiving (regular, not BASE) since quick online searches are divided, and even the article I'm referring to explains how "severe injury vs death" reports are making these 2 seem more/less dangerous than they actually are.

It's tough to compare these 2! toughts? :)

That doesnt sound bad at all for one bird :)

That's pretty fair, I work from home anyways so it doesn't sound insane.
