 You're talking about real men who live on the edge of life every day, perfecting the skills that keep us free. Like astronauts, they know that every mission, every exercise, could be their last. Don't dishonor them by questioning their commitment or their ability. |

Or it could be intense media coverage because they keep putting their business out there, and they are involved in high risk operations, training, and techniques?

 From what I understand injury and death due to training accidents is common in that community. They do a lot of very high risk stuff.

I think you're probably seeing a lot of Navy SEALs dying because they have an extremely dangerous job. That's just a guess though.

Parachuting is not safe, especially in close proximity to others. This stuff happens to military and recreational jumpers relatively often.

I heard it was a canopy collision which if the case is hardly a conspiracy. Canopy traffic is generally one of the more dangerous aspects to skydiving.

They've been conducting about a 1000% increase in operations in the last 4 years. So yea, there's going to be an increase in accidents/fatalities as well. They're not supermen. They bleed just like the rest of us. Their prone to mistakes and accidents, just like the rest of us. No need for tin foil |

It's a high-risk job. People die.
a friend who was an F-16 pilot told me that on the first day of pilot training, the cadets were told the % of them who would die in a military aircraft, based on compiled statistics. It turned out to be chillingly correct. ETA: I don't see any disrespect in your post, or any basis to assume shady activity. |

What ulterior motives might I have for bringing up for discussion the frequency with which special forces members have been dying in the past two years? I don't work for Alex Jones.

I haven't been throwing comments like this out there for every thing that pops up on the radar and I'm not drawing any conclusions. It is worth noticing and discussing. |

I used to work at that airport/airpark in the 2002-2006 time frame and we would see jumpers all the time, we were told to ignore them lest we get greeted by a m4 or m-16. saw lots of jumpers miss the drop zone, but none killed while I was there.

They train hard, probably as hard as any group out there, and train in dangerous activities. These are the risks,
and as a jumper I don't see how you can find any "sinister motive" going on with this accident. They fold their own chutes, and gear just doesn't fail like it used to with the old gear jumping rounds. If jumpers go in these days, it's because the jumper made a mistake, not the gear going bad, or someone trying to "do them in". Plus trying to sabotage someone's jumping gear, it's pretty easy to spot anything that would actually do them harm after the fact, so it would be well know shortly after the accident. Alot easier ways to do something in then to try and induce a skydiving malfunction. Hell, make them jump enough and it will happen, the stats speak for themselves. OnyxSkyDV |
