I don’t jump out of an airplane as long as it has wings and a tail. I also don’t fly helicopters. I have license to fly both, as well as a seaplane rating.

" I also don’t fly helicopters. "

Twenty-five thousand moving parts, all conspiring to kill you. I did ~two hours in an R-22 after I got my PPL, just to see what flying a helicopter was all about. It was fun, but I never pursued it further.

As for jumping out of a perfectly good airplane... that's a higher form of insanity.
