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.
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?
My choices are a plane that's IS GOING TO crash.... vs a chute that might not fully deploy. I'm jumping.
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!
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.
I've lived a charmed life. I have walked away relatively unscathed from every crash I've been in - motorcycle, car, aircraft.
