Joke #3

- Att hoppa fallskärm är faktiskt alldeles ofarligt.
- Verkligen?
- Jadå. Men betydligt mer riskfyllt är det att ta mark.

To jump from a parachute is in fact just not dangerous.
Oh, really?
Yes. But by far more risky is it to take ground.

Bad joke, but interesting phrase:

ta mark - take ground. In American we say, touched ground or touched down. Taking the ground sounds like a military maneuver, including a roll and some flying dirt and a strong desire to be and remain alive, which seems equally the case with skydiving.
