Do you think Airlines should give everyone parachutes? ( PIC )
 

I think its such as great idea but they will never do it due to panic of people and loose money....but i just think its such as good idea to have parachutes when flying...this has always seem to come up with other passengers when i am flying somewhere...what do you think?

ps; I hate flying...is it only me or does anyone else hate the feeling of not being in control thousands of feet above ground?

Commercial planes fly too fast and too high and have too many people. No way could you leap from a plane going 4 or 5 hundred miles an hour at high altitude. And everyone would trample each other trying to get to the fucking door anyway.

Also, could you imagine the people fucking around trying to get the things on? They would take an hour just to get the damn thing on.

Or how bout people jumping and then the pilot being able to make a decent landing. And all thoese who leaped are hanging in trees, or drowing in lakes or dying from failing to open the fucking umbrella!

You think the pilot will be able to land? All the people that jump out of that plane would be hamburger by then as they are sucked into the engines :1orglaugh

I doubt anyone on the aircraft would let you open the door to jump out. You'd cripple half the aircraft just in the de-pressurization by opening the door.

yup that's the biggest problem, you can't open the doors of a plain.... if you open the doors you will have a nasty surprise

haha that would be fun but if everybody is shot at once they will all crash into each other :upsidedow

I caught the tail end of a show on the National Geographic show yesterday that had a thing on a guy who in 1960 parachuted from a balloon flying 100000 feet above the earth. At top speed he was going over 740 MPh and didnt open his chute until 4 and a half minutes into the fall. And he survived! Pretty fuking amazing! They said all it would have taken was the chute or the pressure suit failing and he woulda been dead immediately upon leaving the balloon. The record still stands and hasnt been attempted in over 40 years lol

Hmm Flying at 34k Feet = No Oxygen outside. (very very little)

Flying at 80% of the speed of sound....The parachute would rip and so would the people.

They could have something that ejects everyone out when the plane is at 10k-12k feet. And enable a Cypress (auto parachute rip coard)

"A person has a terminal velocity of about 200 mph when balled up and about 125 mph with arms and feet fully extended to catch the wind."

lol I just quoted the show.. The had fil of him. He was on the edge of space man! :winkwink:

Actually, no, you're right. In the rarefied atmosphere he would travel faster. Terminal Velocity wouldn't apply until denser atmosphere. I'm tired :(
