Chute, because it can turn a number of potentially-unsurvivable situations
into potentially-survivable ones.

Though on average, a "magic six gallons of gas" would prevent a ton of
accidents. Maybe we should start a secret campaign to mislabel airplanes and
gas gauges?

So, if you ever had an unexpected need for one of these (unspecified)

things,
which would you prefer. A chute on the airplane, or six more gallons of

gas?

"potentially-unsurvivable": Maybe you won't survive. Maybe you will.
"potentially-survivable": Maybe you'll survive. Maybe you won't.

I'd want more of a difference in outcome before I trade six gallons for a
chute.
