Had a sky diver friend of mine tell me once (there was liquor involved
so I can't attest to the absolute truth of the matter :-) that his
insurance guy, when figuring out the rates for his life insurance, told
him that when the company ran the model through the computers, they
discovered that if he could remain in the free fall part of the jump
indefinitely, the rate would be extremely good, but that it was the end
of the jump and the potential problems associated with the various
endings that part entailed that made the difference and raised the rate.

I guess it is true in skydiving also...the whole trick is how well you can stop...
