I presume that relative gravitational field strength positively contributes to the likelihood of finding oneself in a given location, accounting for the fear of ending up in a massive body (most likely a star).

Alternatively, it might be that flawed destination co-ordinates may affect the process of jumping itself, rather than the destination: which is to say, being disgregated into a molecular gas or perhaps torn apart by the singularities that are presumably used to open the wormholes.

Sounds like you have a grasp of the science behind the fiction, Qubex. Since we've never seen a blind jump and only heard of an account (but not its aftereffects), since there's no other sourcing other than Adama's comments, your analysis (along with what we know about normal jumps) seems to fit our wiki policy on logical deduction for articles. Personally, I think your first idea (gravity wells) fit what we are told more than the second. Feel free to write a non-jargon explanation of what you noted in the article if it's needed. -- Spencerian 10:22, 27 April 2007 (CDT) (Talk - Contrib Skillz - Edit Skillz)
