After a while a colony of "Sun Surfers" (sometimes called "Sun Divers") built-up, people who wanted the "hottest ride in the Solar System". While in the early days the death rate per 'dive' was 25%, this quickly dropped to 10% and within six months was down to 5%, where it stuck for a long time.

Interesting idea, but I think the death rates are much too high. Even with 5% there wouldn't be many divers after a couple of years left.
