I think the risk of dying in a crash are still too high. If I had a parachute and a knew there was nobody else who would be hurt if I bailed out, I think the parachute is safer. The plane is going to crash either way.

You're in a metal shell in the plane. Even the small trees can impale you under a parachute.

I used to work in SAR. I've seen crash sites where tree branches punctured through helicopter blades.

It's not so cut and dry as you might think.
