In the words of DJB:
"Are you surprised to hear WHO saying that healthy skydivers don't need to and shouldn't use parachutes? This is backed up by a systematic review of randomized controlled trials, published in the British Medical Journal, cited more than 1000 times: https://www.bmj.com/content/327/7429/1459" https://www.bmj.com/content/327/7429/1459"

Most parachute analogies in medicine are inappropriate, incorrect or misused. http://cmajopen.ca/content/6/1/E31.full http://cmajopen.ca/content/6/1/E31.full
