there aren't that many accidents. It's also more dangerous to jump in ways that attempt to skirt laws (jumping near dark, trying to evade capture, etc)

I’m convinced this is how Dean Potter died. Jumping at dusk to try to evade capture my Yosemite rangers.

If it had been legal, and had he jumped in broad daylight, I think he’d have survived that day.

Right. It's the Park Service to blame. Right there with the "it's the cops fault I crashed and burned because if driving 140mph was legal I would be fine".
