Anyways. Not testing to get back in is nice. I'd encourage all survivors to take advantage

holy crap

holy crap

Well there is some nightmare fuel for you. Let's hope everybody had been knocked out from the g force before crashing

[steve dave]

There would be zero g’s most likely. Free fall.

[cfbandyman]

Depends if it was accelerating on down but yeah, regardless holy crap

[mocat]

i think i would rather be pulverized into dust instantly than have some half assed crash landing where my leg ends up behind my head and i lay there for 6 hours in agony as i bleed to death

I have low g iq

Jesus, that was a graphic description.

[pissclams]

this is 100% why they should have parachutes under people’s seats

Yet accurate way I'd prefer to go out in that situation

That would be 1 g, but I know what you mean

How would they get out of the plane tho?

100 amateur skydivers jumping out of a commercial airliner, nothing could possibly go wrong.

I mean, its a ridiculous idea, but i'm not sure I'd be worried about being around a bunch of amateur sky divers when my plane was barreling toward the ground.

Yeah ... I'd still rather take my chances as an amateur skydiver, tbh.

[mocat]

imagine if the plane was going down so you jumped out but then the pilot managed to regain control and save the plane but then your parachute malfunctioned. that is comedy gold!

[star seed 7]

I was listening to some podcast the other day and a guy was talking about the first MiG's produced in the 50's and how they had no safety features. So basically if you wanted to bail out you had to manually open the canopy, then unbuckle yourself while taking care not to unbuckle the parachute. Then, because the jet is moving so fast it's nearly impossible to climb out so you were supposed to roll the plane over and fall out.

[steve dave]

You morons ever hear of an ejector seat?

[Phil Titola]

I sit in the exit row so I can check everybody's skydiver license validity.

[Rage Against the McKee]

You get a carry-on bag. If you choose to not use it to pack a parachute, that's on you.

I wonder if this is even allowed?

[pissclams]

a lot of the better, more modern parachutes are so small that even when fully deployed there’s enough room in the cabin for everyone to use theirs.  so, ultimately, no need to leave the safety of the fuselage while parachuting away from the potential air catastrophe.

[steve dave]

If you’re going to get sucked through the engine a rule of thumb is to do a cannonball

[steve dave]

Or a preachers seat
