This is accurate. It largely comes down to skydiving having decent safeguards against newcomers loving up (tandems are frequently required for a certain number of jumps), most DZs are very responsible about restricting flights if conditions are adverse, and like you said - the people who get into it are generally very aware of the risks.
Skydiving is generally safe at 0.005%+- fatality rate per jump (many of which can be root caused to doing something stupid) thanks to the world's militaries figuring out how to get idiot 20 year olds strapped to 100 pounds of gear to reliably land when kicked out the back of a plane.

BASE is 0.04% per jump because it is nothing but people doing stupid stuff.

Boy do they ever. Three French strike actions I can remember off the top of my head:

- government stonemasons on the picket line casually bricking up the entrance door to their office
- firefighters putting on all their gear and lighting themselves on fire in the street
- Union of nuclear workers posting a picture of a finger on a reactor emergency scram button, captioned with the French equivalent of "gently caress around and find out"

The delivery guy basically threw himself in the path of ongoing traffic and expected everyone else to get out his way.

The one story I periodically think about was that woman who was part of a protest at a national park where they had banned base jumping. The protest involved base jumping and expecting to get arrested. But since she didn't want her expensive parachute confiscated, she borrowed one with a cord positioned different than her normal one and proceeded to fall to her death with the parachute unopened.

well?? did that convince them to allow base jumping or not???

Seriously, you can't even enter the dump with construction debris without a certificate that it's been asbestos tested.

It's probably meant to be sold to a large food producer so they can save 0.05 cents on each of the 500,000 potatoes they peel every day

Looks like it got nuked on imgur, and it's not the type of thing I'd save expecting it to be deleted :(

But if it helps, it finished peeling it reasonably well

My grandmother used to have a peeling machine that worked kind of like this, except it had a hand crank. I remember it worked pretty well, but it was hell on your arms and it also took forever to clean.

the panacea posted:

If I remember right they essentially blanch them, hitting them with first something extremely hot and then extremely cold(or perhaps the other way around) to shock the potatoes out of their skins, more or less. You can do the same thing with a tomato by making some slices down its skin, pouring boiling water over it and then immediately tossing it into cold or freezing water, and then skin more or less comes off on its own.

But there may be more than one industrial process for it.

You can also use one of these which is basically a big tumbler drum with a sandpaper-like coating on the inside to peel massive quantities of potatoes.
