They do a Randomized Controlled Trial on parachutes, but due to ethical reasons the plane is only a few feet off the ground and there's no effect (the parachutes don't have time to deploy).

Are you under the impression there would be an effect on trauma rates if the parachute managed to deploy during a 60cm jump?

  No, but what I'm saying is if you watched the study the parachutes would look like they were doing nothing at all, not even flopping the chute out.
