  1. Physics is physics. If you don't understand that, I can't help you.

    A good friend of mines son got ejected from his truck and died because he wasn't wearing a seatbelt. His fiance, who was buckled in, survived.

    Good thing racers wear the Hans device now and did let the death of #3 deter that... Just imagine if he wore it.

    No doubt. Good thing I didn’t make any type of claim to the contrary.

    So... if you're in a skydiving aircraft, I would guess that you probably have on a parachute. If the plane starts going down, why ride it to the ground?

    Insufficient altitude for the chute to deploy? Just guessing.

    My choices are a plane that's IS GOING TO crash.... vs a chute that might not fully deploy.

    I'm jumping.

    Consider this group and then revisit the potential need for clarification (sarchasm).
     
  11. Need altitude to deploy. Crash on takeoff kinda negates that.
     
  12. If you have a choice.

    You're assuming that you can get to the door.
     
  14. I have been in three airplane crashes. Two were takeoff crashes, one was a crash on landing. None of them involved enough altitude to get out before the crash. And yeah, all three were similar to car crashes.

    You ain't the boss of me and I'll wear one if I gawd damn want to.


    and since One of the K tribe died because he forgot to put his on that day, I gawd damn want to. But it ain't from you telling me to! :D

    Jeebus crust man, you need to buy some lottery tickets and stay out of lightning storms 'cause you're a walking mother trucking 1 in a gazillion.
     
  18. Absolutely. No such thing as a "perfectly good airplane." :D

    How many of those three were you flying yourself? :D
     
  20. I've lived a charmed life. I have walked away relatively unscathed from every crash I've been in - motorcycle, car, aircraft.
