I don't know if this is a joke or not, But I wouldn't do it.
Understant +/-EV is a thing, but you have to look further.
Example: I have a lottery in my country called 649, where you choose 6 number from 1-49, if you have all 6 you win the jackpot. The odds of hitting are 1-to-13,983,816. For the purpose let say its 1-to-14,000,000.
A ticket cost 2$, so to have a +EV on this lottery the jack would need to be more than 28,000,000$. The thing is, you still have 13,999,999 chance to lose and if you buy a ticket each week for 100 yeas, you still have 1-to-2692 odd againts you. So the theorem of EV cant be applied to those big lottery.
I think the same would apply to the parachute jump IMO, screw the money, love the BB/100, enjoi.
