Plane Crash

Ok, this may seem like a stupid question... but with the recent plane crashes, I have pondered this and wonder if anyone knows.

In the event of a plane crash...
Why aren't there parachutes on board a plane?
Why can't they open the emergency exit doors and have people jump out?

I mean, if your plane is going down, chances are, you're going to die. So you may as well take the chance and jump out... you're likely to have more survivors. Right?

It just makes sense to me... if the plane is on its way down, have an emergency release where the exit doors come off and parachutes are available. Everyone jumps out as fast as they can and hopes for the best.

good luck trying to push open the doors in mid flight, going really really fast

even if you do get out, the odds are you might get sucked into one of the jet engines. fun times.

plus unless you know when to deploy the parachute, the odds are, the parachute won't deploy properly depending on speed you're going.

and imagine landing in middle of ocean. your parachute pack don't carry much in terms of survival gear

don't think it's possible, plane would have to be depressurized in order to not suck everyone out... and even then it would be going way too fast for people to properly exit in sequence. and i'm guessing under a lot of conditions you'd die a horrible death of becoming a human hailstone. the airlines would have to make sure the parachutes work for obese people and all kinds of other bullshit like explaining the procedure in detail before every flight.

I know that height, speed, and skill are all probably why it isn't used, but it seems to me that you're more likely to have at least a few survivors with this implemented, instead of none... right?

I understand that regular parachuting isn't done from the height/speed that a commercial aircraft maintains, but I would think that the odds would be more in favour of survival than just sitting in the plane to crash into the ground at 600mph.

Lols.

How many people are capable of performing their first parachute jump by themselves and without adequate instruction?
Who is gonna strap granny in her jumping harness whilst a plane is upside down?
How are passengers going to access and use a safe jumping spot in a plane out of control? I mean, have you seen how long it takes people to exit a plane normally?

Obviously it would be chaotic... you will have people who will simply fall to their deaths or whatever.

With that being said, you might have the few who could make it... aren't odds more in your favour for survival with jumping out rather than crashing!?

Please note that plane crashes usually end in 2 ways:

1) The plane explodes before anyone even realizes what the fuck is going on.
2) The plane tumbles from thousands of metres in the air to the ground at an accelerating speed.

In either of those 2 situations it would be impossible to announce to people to abandon plane. I mean I would understand if a plane crash were like an actual landing, at a controlled speed and descent, but that's the key difference between a crash and a landing.

i wouldn't have thought so. though i would be curious to see how many people jumping for their lives would get sucked into a turbine engine.

It's impossible to open the doors in mid-flight. I'v got a better idea. A gigantic parachute for the plane itself! Kind of like the space shuttle but much bigger.
