the people going here are actively jumping out of an airplane. they chose to do this and are well aware of the risks. is it dumb? possibly. is this some mad profiteering stealing money from millions and casually ignoring people dying left and right in some cold-hearted money-making scheme? absolutely not. disclaimer: i'm one of those dumb ppl who jumped at this place - quite enjoyed it. slow news day i guess.

Lodi is a notoriously unsafe drop zone (I'm an experienced skydiver in the bay area). I don't know if it's a cold-hearted greed thing so much as it's an anti-rules, anti-establishment thing where they like to scoff at safety and protocol. I wouldn't jump there or even do a group dive with anybody who regularly jumps there.
