Maybe, because if one did die, and they look into the history of the person and find out they did skydive, the insurance company wouldn't pay. It's like getting insurance in Alberta, but living in BC. Yes it is cheaper, but if you total your car, you likely aren't going to get paid for it. All the money you were paying for premiums has been wasted and you have fraudulently signed a document. Is it worth it to save a few bucks now? Not for me.
The question was have you ever tried skydiving. If you have, then you check yes. It's likely they aren't solely worried about the person jumping out of a plane again, but what that person sees an acceptable risk. Someone who jumps out of a plane is more likely to bungee jump, parasail, hang glide, participate in extreme activities etc. than a person who doesn't, and thus is more likely to die at a younger age. It's the same reason why a sports car costs more than a station wagon.
