Would I remember what to do if I encountered a mountain lion in the foothills (a legitimate concern near where I live)? Would I know what to do if a bear started coming towards me? Bears aren't an uncommon sight in the mountains near me. Would I remember CPR if my daughter needed it? I hope that like you deploying your emergency chute, learning and training would kick in.

Hiking is great exercise and probably keeps your bones strong, so the 2 sports kind of compliment each other. I agree that life is not without risk and we shouldn't fear risk, just be cautious. And don't overdo.

If you stop skydiving and hiking, what are your plans for the future? I suppose you could spend more time at the gym, perhaps soaking in the hot tub (if there is one).
