Life is a risk.
I have jumped off Babadag mountain four times over the past 9 years, the last one being 3 weeks ago.
Other than seeing some reckless paragliders jumping off the mountain in heavy winds and only just getting back to the beach in time in May one year (their stupid fault) I have seen no accidents whatsoever. All other flights were already cancelled that day.
I am 6'-2" and I have had pilots at 5' and a fart take me down.
When my daughter was 14 years old, me, her and my wife jumped off with no problems at all. Do you think I would have let my daughter and wife do the jump if I seriously thought there life's were in danger - definitely not! The views are amazing and well worth doing.
Yes do your research and homework and find the best companies, we went with Gravity this year.
Its the old addage 'you have more chance of dying crossing the road'.
Do things that you want to do in life. Regret can linger forever.
Great times.
