Default 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.
