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. Stefan
