Great story. When I was in college a P-3C was at the airport beside the
school and a couple of alumni were on the aircraft. During a tour of the
aircraft one of them pointed to the parachutes stowed along the cabin wall
and mentioned none of them would ever be used, nobody wanted to jump, they
all seemed to prefer "riding it in." I don't understand that.

I've only been under a sport chute a few times, but I'd take my chances
under a parachute any day than betting I could keep my face off the aircraft
structure during the impact.
