My first flight as a 9 yr old I can still remember asking grandma if anything was to happen at 35,000 ft why we had a lifejacket instead of a parachute.

[@y0u5uf]

That's one of the best comments I've read almost ever..

[@ZeHoSmusician]

*A parachute!? HA!* What, because with all the panicking that'd be going on, you think you could properly strap on a 'chute? (It's a harness, not a rucksack.) Especially if it was your first time? I'm guessing some people still wouldn't have the guts to jump anyway, even with their life on the line. Then there's the weather: you don't want to be parachuting when it's too windy. Even without bad weather, you could still find yourself in a region that's inappropriate to land... Hey, like, water! Hope you included the lifejacket as well. You didn't? Oh... Hope you have a knife to quickly cut the 'chute loose and take/cut off your clothes and that you're a good swimmer... Sounds like the kind of thing a nine-year-old and grandma could "easily" handle... :) So, really, you're much better off waiting for the plane to be flown/glided down, pop the lifejacket on, get yourself in the brace position, land (if gear still works) or hit the land/water, and get out when instructed (inflate lifejacket if appropriate of course). Legit question (especially if you're a youngster), but parachutes in planes is not going to happen! Unless you're going skydiving...
