There’s no evidence parachutes work.
- xpil 3y agoOh come on, my uncle touched a parachute once and survived so they clearly do work.
- cmcaleer 3y agoMy grandfather was wearing one and died. This is clear and thorough proof they don't work (he was hit with flak as a paratrooper).
- nroets 3y agoThat's why I'm working on an invisible parachute. So that flak gunners can't see the paratroopers.
- cseleborg 3y agoThat doesn't prove anything. What it does clearly prove, though, is that the Earth is flat. Think about it: have you ever successfully landed with a parachute on a spherical object like a soccer ball or large marble? See?

- Scarblac 3y agoAnd with this paper, we now have evidence that they don't work.
- arrowsmith 3y agoHey, I wear a parachute to work every day and it's kept me alive this far! Granted, I work in a ground-floor office, but you can't prove that the parachute isn't what saved me.
