Not as dangerous as you might think, since you always got a security chute with you. So, paradoxically: you're safer the higher up you are, because the chute has actual time to deploy.
Statistically, it's safer than riding a motorcycle. (Which isn't too safe, I know)

That guy was so visibly stoked. It sounded like an hour-long adrenaline high. Good for him.

Love stuff like that. Not for me, being afraid of heights, but the concept of it.

Wow looks really fun! Must be very dangerous, right?

Oh wow that is surprising. I mean I don't have that much context for motorcycles but it's not an uncommon hobby so it can't be that bad right?
