Anyone here know about skydiving?

My son went down to Canon City on his 18th birthday for a tandem jump. He loved it and it appeared to be safe - at least as far as jumping out of an airplane can be called safe. Most of the guys I work with have hundreds of jumps made when they were on active duty. Almost all of them have been injured at one time or another. Everything from broken backs/legs/feet/ankles/arms to compressed spinal fractures. Sounds like a blast to me!
