Hi, Philippe,
I think it is just thrill seeking.
On Memorial Day here in the US, one experienced jumper took part in a
celebration in a nearby town, and the wind tossed him into a power
line. He had only minor injuries, and was released from the hospital
before nightfall.

I took an exercise walk at the airport today, and was able to catch a few
images. First, one of the Vanderbilt LifeFlight helicopters left on another
mission.

Then, I found a friendly young lady who was about to make her first tandem
skydiving jump. She agreed to let me take her picture.

I watched as the instructor donned his parachute in the area where the chutes
are repacked after each jump.

And then, I watched as the pilot and passengers boarded the Cessna Caravan jump
aircraft.
