To use your metaphor, if you jump out of a Boeing plane and land on a Boeing factory, it's not Boeing's fault that your parachute failed.

well it is if they sold you the Boeing parachute that says "makes your fall safe"

And then people go "but it was the landing, not the fall that killed you! The contract didn't say anything about that! "

But they don't. They manufactured the plane, and even had a warning on the door that jumping out is dangerous since parachutes can fail!

I guess I should modify my comment above. You can't sue them for the plane being broken, which is what this suit is.
