How many base jumpers are there approximately in the world?

Any guesses.... Id like to know death/jumper ratio.

The official death-to-jumper ratio is 1:1.

It just takes some people longer to get there!

I thought the answer to everything was 42.

I agree with Stitch. The book said the answer is 42.

17 must be the metric version...

No, 42 makes sense. 17 is the King's version.

Unless it's a leap year, then it's 42 + 4 = 46
And you wools also have to take into consideration the colour of the container: but that is only recommended for more experienced jumpers.

In reply to:

no, it's 11. one more than 10. of course, this is only an approximation.
