Jumper who may carelessly drop to hasty conclusion (8)
I believe the answer is:
skydiver
'jumper' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for skydiver that I've seen before include "one's taken off to get in position" , "Aerial jumper" , "Sporting parachutist" , "Person who performs acrobatics in upper air before opening parachute" , "High jumper?" .)
