Hey Blazewing, I was crunching numbers on the risk curve for a single skydiving jump—just curious, how many jumps do you think it takes to hit a 99.9% survival rate? I can’t resist putting that in a graph.
Blazewing
You only need one jump to hit that 99.9% survival mark – it’s the rate per jump, not cumulative. Every time you go out the door the chance stays 99.9%, so the curve stays flat. If you want to make a “survived every jump” record, you’ll have to do a ton of jumps and the probability will start to dip. But hey, that’s why the adrenaline never quits!

Right, the per-jump metric is flat, but the cumulative survival rate is a different beast. If you log 10,000 jumps, the expected survivor count drops to about 9,990, so the cumulative probability is 0.999 to the power of 10,000, practically zero. Funny how a constant odds per event turns into a steep decline over time. It’s the law of large numbers, not magic.

Yeah, math can be brutal, but that’s the thrill—seeing that curve drop while you’re still flying high. If you want to keep the numbers looking good, just keep jumping, keep the gear tight, and let the adrenaline keep the math on its toes.

Sure thing, just keep the telemetry pinging. If the stats ever spike, you know I’ll need a new spreadsheet to explain the anomaly.

Got it, keep the telemetry humming. If the numbers go crazy, I’ll crank up the graphs and turn that spike into a new record you’ll want to brag about.

Sounds like a plan—just keep an eye on the variance. If the spike looks like a rogue outlier, I’ll flag it and maybe update the confidence interval. You’ll be the first to see the new KPI.
