Four important things to remember before skydiving;

1. Always research the establishment and its employees, being aware of any lawsuits, deaths,

injuries or complaints.

2. Pay attention to skydiving news and keep track of what types of mistakes cause injuries and

deaths. For example, sharp low turns cause more deaths then malfunctioning parachutes.

3. People with heart conditions and some other types of medical conditions should not skydive.

4. Assess the risk - Is it worth it?
