I've done a sponsored charity parachute jump (static line). I paid for the jump and 100% of the funds raised went to the charity.

I wonder if they actually have enough data for the claims in the abstract. 30 pounds seems abysmally low even by '99 standards.

That plus people are incorrectly assuming that it's bad that the charity gets leftovers. That money is still a net positive which they wouldn't have made otherwise as well as an increase in sponsors via the event. The amount of cynicism here is daft.
