If by that you mean that you won't train to use your emergency
equipment, then you are correct. Stick with the round. Just don't be
surprised if it lands you in the hospital. Remember - those maximum
loadings are based on a fit man in his 20's wearing boots with ankle
support. For a middle aged man wearing tennis shoes, they really ought
to be reduced by 30% or so.
I personally know two pilots who had to jump. One broke a leg on
landing, the other sprayed an ankle. But believe it or not: Neither of
them complained.
