usually once unless you land in a snow drift, break a finger nail and walk away to do it again...

depends on what you consider wrong... cause theres a lfew things that can...
first the obvious, your main chute and reserve chute fail, Im my opinion, your pretty much FU**ED... so one time for that type of mistake,
now if your talking pulling your chute late, and coming in to hard, you could break a bone, but other than that, you should be ok to jump again.. same goes for landings, trees wires, water etc.... i wouldn't make a habit out of making wrong choices with that activity.
heres a little sidenote:
roughly 30 skydivers die a year in the USA, so thats about 1 for every 100,000 jumps. According to U.S. Parachute Association (USPA) statistics, 1998 was the worst year on record for U.S. skydiving fatalities, with 44. in 1999 – 27, 2000 – 32, 2001 – 35, 2002 – 33, 2003 – 25, 2004 – 23.
It may sound like a lot, BUT when you consider about 40,000 people die each year in traffic accidents. That’s 1.7 deaths per 100 million vehicle miles.
So if you drive 10,000 miles a year, your chance of dying in a car crash is something like 1 in 6,000. You would have to jump 17 times per year for your risk of dying in a skydiving incident to equal your risk of dying in a car wreck if you drive 10,000 miles a year.
jump away!

Twice. First time, your co-jumper kills him/herself by leaving you with the (much smaller) reserve chute. Second time, you have no co-jumper.
The first incident has happened. That's why I ain't gonna jump out of no perfectly good aeroplanes...

Quite a few times. It's forgetting to open the parachute that's the killer.

considering the fall to the ground, id say only one time because you wont be alive to get it wrong the second time
