Parachute Jump
Parachute Jump
When a airline jet is about to land and is circling could you jump out with a parachute?
People pay good money for an airplane to take them up where they can skydive. If your'e up there anyway why don't they let you bail out? My guess is some insurance company is spoiling the fun again
Where do you plan to land, in the middle of a freeway, or somebodies back yard, or in some power lines.
Skydiving is controlled with a planned LZ that is clear of obstacles.
Even with training the minimum for altitude for a free-fall jump is 3000' for static line jump 1500-1800'.
How are you getting out when the aircraft that is still doing 200 KIAS, normal speed for personnel drops is 130-135 KIAS. Without an air deflector you would bounce off the side of fuselage, most likely be unconscious at that point.
Aircraft doors do not lock, but when aircraft is pressurized, no one is opening those doors. Even as little at 3 psi would put 2500-3000 lbs of pressure on a door. You are not pulling that door open. Normally aircraft are not completely depressurized until below 500' AGL (Above Ground Level)
Edit for Dangerman: I didn't say Max altitude I said Min. Read it again.
You could jump from ten feet from a balloon that is not moving, not from an aircraft doing 150 KIAS. Can you say Road Pizza.
Ballisticly it takes between 300-400 feet for a canopy of a parachute to fully inflate and another 200 ft to slow to terminal velocity. The Min altitude I have dropped trained jumpers, on a static line is 1000 Ft AGL.
If you had a chute failure you would not have time to recognize it and pull your reserve chute.
Yes, the world record for a jump is over 100K ft, but that is irrelevant to this topic, isn't it?
