Just one 'chute?
Here's a hypothetical situation for you: Let's say your on a plane. What if the 'fasten seatbelt' sign comes on, you feel some turbulence, looking out the window you see the engine burst into flames, you start a downward spiral, the oxygen masks drop from the ceiling...so..it's a really bad flight! Now- you can see fire inside the aircraft...would you consider jumping? Or would you pull your chair up and prepare to toast your toes?
Situation 1: The same stuff is happening to your plane, but your flying over water...would you jump?
Situation 2: Now your flying over land? Any takers??
Situation 3: What if you found a parachute...but two people had to share it?? Feel like you can fly?
Take a moment and think about it...here's what I would do: #1- Hell Yeah I'd jump. I'd grab some seat cushions and strap them to my body then jump without missin' a beat...heck I'd probably push lil'Timmy outta the way to make sure I get out of the plane. Hey! Anything is better than roasting to death. #2 is a bit tricky- slamming into concrete is not really my idea of a good time- BUT I'd still do it. It might take me a bit longer to jump outta the plane. This time I'd patiently wait in line, hoping the plane would get nearer to land, and the jump wouldn't be so far! I'd still use some seat bottoms to help break my landing- either that or try to aim to land on something soft ;) Scenario #3 is a EASY. With a parachute..even one 'chute for two people...c'mon! You have an excellent chance of landing perfectly safely- it's better than roasting to death...and even if you don't land with grace- it'll just be a broken leg! At least you'll have a good story! You will definitley be alive to tell it! There are even stories of people who survive falls when the parachute doesn't even open! In case of that particular emergency, hope the 2nd jumper with you has heart failure and use that person as your cushion!
Ok so maybe that last suggestion was a little morbid- but it's life and death situation...I choose life! For all you toe-toasters out there- I'll attend the memorial ;)
