But the other 15% of the time the flap becomes separated from the eye, know as a "free cap", and you're screwed! I have heard the flap comes loose from daily eye and eyelid movement, rubbing your eyes, or anything where there is direct contact to your eye like swimming and skydiving.

I've never heard of anything like this and don't believe it's true. 15% of a chance is too big for anyone to continue with a procedure like this.
