People have to make choices sometimes.

The student skydiver (click here for video and article)  who suffered a seizure while free-falling at 2743 m (9000 ft) was an epilepsy sufferer who believed he had his condition under control. 

Incredible footage shows the terrifying moment Christopher Jones, 22, had an epileptic seizure while free-falling at 2743 m (9000 ft).

Mr Jones, from Perth, suffered the near-death experience while trying to do a left-hand turn in mid-air and was saved by his fast-acting sky diving instructor who opened his parachute with seconds to spare....

Christopher Jones and his family are lucky people because the student sky diver has a Master Jump Master prepared for the worst. The idea any future jumps by Mr. Jones would have the same result is unrealistic.

Sometimes people have to measure their ability to carry out an ambition. Bring prudent about personal safety impacts more than oneself so much as the footprint a person has in other's lives. The picture above could have been very different. 

We can call upon the profession to rule making in regard to a person's safety, but, the Jump Master providing the lessons could have denied Mr. Jones his ambitions. I would surprised if a health certificate was not required before lessons could begin. If there was no doctor's certificate then the profession and the state government needs to develop standards for high risk activities.
