one of the sargents at the parra army base has taken over 300 jumps in his career, you cannot get more passionate than him. the best part is he gets paid for jumping.
its a bit of an extreme sport, probably illegal and most situations aswell considering you arent allowed to jump off buildings. High mortality rate, just like alot of extreme sports i guess.
If you do it be educated, know the risks and invest in some high quality gear. Also dont get caught.
