Why I have parachutes
I know two others that bailed - both under 5,000 AGL.
Interestingly, neither of the other two were in midairs.
I know of another who bailed in the pattern with no ill effects.
The incentive was a fire in a motorglider.
That's a really good example of why the parachute should be attached
to the personnel, rather than the aircraft.
For sale: one parachute, used only once, never opened, slightly stained.
Aaarrrgggh!
He forgot to mention that it was a seat pack parachute.
