Bird to the left of Benny in the court side photo can't help but be amazed by the BAE.

I thought that.

He wouldn't have been "allowed" to do it.. I imagine this would really pee off the top guys at the club.. I am guessing he is on his way and doesn't care..

 

[Mumorn]

Maybe he asked for permission?

 

[Baleforce]

Maybe he asked for permission?

i'm sure he did, standard terms of a footballers contract I expect

Why not?


The most 'dangerous' things are generally the most well versed in safety procedure. Statistically skydiving is an extremely safe thing to do, just you are far more likely to hear about it in the news should it go wrong.

it was a tandem jump he was attached to someone else - no worries.

has he not heard of syrup? his mind will be blown.

honestly, i was more concerned about that pancake than the skydive.

Most pro contracts do not allow for "dangerous sports" as they are not covered by the clubs insurers.. The insurers would not pay out in the event of an accident and the club would not give permission.. Sure this is going to backfire but show me evidence of another player jumping out of a plane...

It's safer to skydive than it is to drive your car 10,000 miles a year. Around 20 times safer in fact. So do clubs stop players from driving?


The only case i can find is that Beckham went skydiving once, indoors. In a generic search i couldn't even find Bae's, had to search 'Assou Ekotto skydiving', made slightly more complicated by 'parachute' payments. I'd venture that nobody particularly cares what they get up to in their spare time.


I have zero problem with him skydiving, you can't hide people away, if you were that inclined to avoid risks then they just wouldn't be allowed out as leaving the house and getting in a car is dangerous. If it was a 'dangerous sport' with a high risk of injury then sure, he shouldn't do it. That is not skydiving.

 

[Rorschach]

The difference between sky diving and say skiing is the increased likelihood of death if something goes wrong. I doubt he got permission for something as extreme as this. He's just a krazy kat More likely he's used his contract for roaches and has no idea he's not allowed do these things.

I think anyone jumping out of a plane is mad personally, but each to his own.

I believe the risk of death for skiing is actually higher than the risk of death for skydiving though. Let me have a look around, i think i read that.


Edit: It's linked to the point that you wouldn't just go skiing the once, you'd go down the hill multiple times. whilst you would skydive once. So not quite how i first thought.
