probably would have been a different outcome without a parachute.

I imagine there might have been a change of underwear after that one.

To add insult to injury the plane caught on fire after it hit the ground.

Pulled a few too many g's and he will soon be pulling on a new clean pair of jeans.....

I crapped my pants just watching the video. :eek:

To put it delicately: do ya thing the parachute automatically deploys if the seat senses a change in presure?

Seeing how slick the parachute worked, i wonder why all planes don't have them?
