Mxsmanic,

You can jump without a parachute if the plane is on fire, too; the
results will be much the same, if you have no parachute training.


And again, you go on about something you are utterly clueless about.
You are wrong.


This is a key reason why parachutes are not present in civilian
aircraft. Most passengers don't have the training necessary to use
them.


No, it is not. Parachutes are not present, because they aren't needed.
In gliders, the risk of a mid-air is much higher, so they are often
issued - to untrained passengers as well. Training consists of "pull
here". It's all that's needed.
