There's a pretty narrow case where that would be useful. If the plane breaks apart at 500mph at cruising altitude you will most likely die immediately.

- paulddraper 10y agoAbsolutely. If a commercial plane is too damaged to make a reasonable emergency landing, you probably won't get to use your parachute. The only case it would be useful if if there's nowhere in range to make a reasonable landing -- no airports, no water, no roadways, no flat land. Given that your fly thousands of feet above the ground, it's unlikely that would happen.
- ryanlol 10y agoIt's worth noting that "water" is the last thing in that list that you'd want to consider landing on.
