Eventually the odds will catch up with you.

Effective and not likely to hurt anyone else.
“An experienced skydiver deliberately fell to her death from 15,500ft the day after her relationship ended, an inquest heard.”
My guess is that she was in therapy.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t her remains have resembled a puddle, with the occasional lump in it?
There was blood upon the risers, there were brains upon the chute
Intestines were a-danglin’ from his paratrooper’s suit
They picked him up, still in the suit, and poured him from his boots
And he ain’t gonna jump no more
And she ain’t gonna jump no more.
She committed suicide.
This was done on purpose by her.
Show me how they know she purposely did this.
I guess this is our last goodbye
And you don’t care, so I won’t cry
But you’ll be sorry when I’m dead
And all this guilt will be on your head
I guess you’d call it suicide
But I’m too full to swallow my pride
I can’t, I can’t, I can’t stand losing
I can’t, I can’t, I can’t stand losing......
I can’t, I can’t, I can’t stand losing you

(Now I know why the BBC banned it)
Likely not deliberate unless she left a note or something.
When you have a breakup, a death of someone close, or some serious event... it’s very distracting and you are far more likely to get in a car wreck, forget something critical, or have another accident.
It’s very real, and professional pilots have to go through a risk assessment form before duty. Too high of an FRAF score and you are pulled off.
Poor kid probably had an accident, unless she left a note.
Thanks for putting out the other side.
I worked with a nice Russian girl who liked to jump out of perfectly good airplanes.
She asked me to go with her on her 1000th jump, but I declined.
I like to leave airplanes after they have slowly stopped.
The fall didn’t kill her.
It was the sudden and rapid deceleration
The linked article
https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/truly-extraordinary-skydiver-fell-15500ft-32321921
has her picture. She’s very attractive, beautiful even. And only 32 years old. WTF, she had no reason to kill herself. Geez
>> Show me how they know she purposely did this.
Well then, please enlighten us — what do YOU say happened?
Thank you for posting her pic. I’m currently on a small device without the ability to extract the URL of an image from its site. Memo to self: find a tool that will do that on an iPad.....
It could very well have been an equipment failure or chute packing error.
If she did a bunch of jumps the same day, I mean, why do you love life enough to get 6 jumps in and then sabotage your seventh?
Equipment issues do occur to all levels of divers, sky or sea.
