I may be wrong but I read somewhere a long time ago that it is for passenger safety

This may sound odd but a million things can go wrong during skydiving especially to stupid fucking passengers

While only a thousand things can go wrong by just flying and sitting there

I wouldn't trust 100-300 passengers in a flight all jumping out to save themselves. Would probably kill more people since they don't know where the fuck they are landing and would kill actual people on land

I'd trust more the aviation skills of the Captain flying the plane to land safely somehow

Just my 2 cents

Expensive and not practical, also once you open those doors at 12,000m it would blow everything out.

>stupid fucking passengers

i.e. passengers in general

When panicking, minus -5 INT modifier – is what it would say if real life was an RPG.

People are dumb. You're probably going to die or get really hurt skydiving if you have no fucking idea what you're doing. On a flight of 300 passengers, lets say 10 die and 100 are seriously injured. That's 110 lawsuits the airline didn't have if they just let your fat ass smush into a rock in their tin can.

Also 300+ parachutes weigh a fucking lot. $$$ nigger. $$$

>actual people

Fucking sky people. All landing on actual people and shit.

First of, most plane crashes has no fatalities and out of those you have fatalities you tend to think it's probably not going to be any fatalities until you're too low to use a parachute.

Then you have the legal issue, when you go on a flight you essentially sign a contract stating that if you get killed your family won't press charges. But if you were given a parachute and died they could potentially annul that on the basis that you're too stupid to understand that you can't use a parachute, or that the chute was malfunctioning. So it's better for them to let you die.

And if you gave passengers that option the stupid passengers would open the doors in front of the jet engines and jump straight into them. Others would tear the parachutes of other passengers to bits in an effort to jump out first. A lot of people also freeze up when they see the ground closing in and will pull the chute to late and ram straight into the ground. This is why you have to be strapped to someone else the first few times.

It's because people are fucking retarded.

Even in a death spiral, chances are good the pilot will somehow unfuck it.

If in a death spiral, you have an excellent chance of jumping out and getting your dumb ass sliced in half by the wing or suiciding by the formerly last working engine.

If you are hurt and die using a safety feature, they can get sued way more than if you die in your seat.

People would decide to be "lol so crazy haha prank" and grab their chute and bail at 50k, causing everyone else's eardrums to follow the retard out the door as he and they lose consciousness.

If they spaced out properly, only five or six would get out before crashing by the time they knew they had to.

It's harder to fly a crashing jet with a door open and ballast shifting/jettisoning.

Did I mention getting hit by the wing/engine/tail even if you left the back because obviously the plane may be fucking up?

Stewardesses would be failing at trying to stop entire plane from panicking and crushing each other to get to the front of the line.

People overcrowding, getting tangled, deflating/popping each others' chutes, etc

Stewardesses made to choose between doing their job and dying while trying to keep a calm line and lying to the ones in back so the ones in front could live while standing in non-reassuring puddles of their own piss, or jumping out and leaving the sheep behind only to be disgraced or even face charges for abandoning people.

Also littering.

>>5524918

Oh yeah, and people who don't know how to land, especially kids, dying horribly and much more visibly when the chutes land.

>>5524918

>littering

kek. littering is the #1 top priority of all pilots everywhere when some retardfag opens the fucking door of the aero-fucking-plane.

>>5524925

or just hitting water. idk wether they'd drown or be smashed up in that scenario, but I'm not fucking testing that…

>>5524798

hey op.

if you don't feel safe, why not bring your own parachute? board with it packed and ready as hand luggage.

srsly. imagine 300 fat americans in a panic trying to kit up and pile out of the nearest exit. none would survive.

also, weight is crucial to profits. AA save millions a year by not painting their planes. BA deep clean their fleet every year to remove sand left behind by tourists in the cabin, just to save on fuel.

>>5524951

and in the world of UK and Ireland budget airlines, Ryanair nearly made passengers stand.

>>5524958

well announced plans to at any rate.

>>5524958

yep, and a coin operated toilet.

the company doesn't buy pens. they expect their employees to take the pens from the hotels they stay in. there is a company challenge over filtched stationary with an annual prize, bolted right on to the company culture. this really is true.

>>5524995

well, they're already robbing their customers of a good experience at least and probably a bit of money, what's a bit of petty theft on top?

Because the cabins are pressurized, you can't open the door, and you have a 95.7 percent chance of you surviving a crash according to research statistics.

>>5524798

I was led to believe that the bracing position on planes is actually in place so that you die on impact. Is there any truth to this?

>>5525017

not theft. just exploiting hospitality freebies.

>>5525026

no

>>5524862

remember u start with a solid, average 10-11.

8 is a mild retard.

>>5524918

>Also littering.

Can

>Also littering.

be a meme nao?

>>5524829

That's assuming the plan WILL land safely at some point.

What about the times when there's simply no positive outcome? Parachutes will save at least a couple lives

>>5525020

how do they even research that? I mean, getting stats on plane crashes from ordinary plane crashes…fine, BUT ARE THEY CAUSINING PLANE CRASHES NOW?

these are Russian research scientists, aren't they ;)

>>5525124

What a cool guy.

>>5525384

the only way he'd be a cool guy is if you killed him and filled his coffin with Freon.

are you stupid you cunt

>>5524829

A few people surviving is still much better than zero survivors which is the average survival rate of airplane accidents

>>5524798

they dont want you safe

>current year

>not being a Muslim

convert, dirty pig

>>5525268

like 99% of aircraft have a black box (which is orange for visibility) yo give statistics. Also if 100 plane crashes are recorded and 95 have people to say they lived then their yah go.

>>5535343

woops. left trip on from last post. my bad

>>5525763

only if you are a SJW think of the kids and women :(

i'd sneak a parachute into my carry on luggage tbh

>>5535295

Western advancements are haram, you should stop using them

>>5524918

But this sounds amazing. I think the world would be a way more interesting place to live if we just did amazing things without overthinking the consequences.

Passenger airplanes go a lot faster than skydiving airplanes. Your body would be ripped in half just trying to exit the plane.

t. engineer

>>5537917

I'm guessing the plane would go faster and faster till it crashed so there is no hope at all.

At least they get you high before you die.

That's breddy gud

Yeah but the passengers could use the parachutes to slow down the plane/stop it crashing

I thought that too but here are a few issues.

>parachutes are iteratively expensive

>cannot recycle parachutes between passengers because some evil prick might sabotage one for fun

>have to literally buy new ones for every flight

>this means you's trash 90% of your parachutes that you buy

Seems like a wasted precaution to me unless they're going to store said parachutes on hand in a bay but we all know passengers would completely chimp out and not take what they need when diving.

>>5525268

>these are Russian research scientists, aren't they ;)

Uzbekistani, probably.

>>5537917

Not to mention the hypoxic shock, Bends, and uncontrolled soiling that would occur if you did somehow survive the decompression. Then they'd have to not black out during all these ailments.

If people want to escape a passenger plane through a back escape door, they'll need a pressurized suit.

Parachutes? Nigga, they dont even give away free peanuts anymore
