I was trying to persuade my friends girlfriend to go skydiving and she told me that she would be mostly scared of the flight up (because its a dodgey little aeroplane). I couldn' t help but laugh, because as I said to her in reply, why would you be worried about the flight, if something goes wrong with the plane, you've got a parachute, you just bail out and leave the pilot to deal with it.
How slow am I though, I always wondered why the pilot stays with the plane and of course it would be to try and guide the plane away from dangering other lives, if everyone bailed from a plane then the plane could crash in the middle of a city and what if the plane corrected itself and heaps of people die from parachuting into the ocean or nearby countryland.
