Also correlation is not causation. Just because some people jumping from planes have parachutes doesn't mean that all people jumping from planes have parachutes.

Surgeon General's Warning: parachutes have been known to the state of California to cause people to jump out of perfectly working planes.

Yup, *highly* skewed sample, we can't draw conclusions. The number of people who have willingly jumped from planes without desiring death is tiny. The number who have survived is even lower. (Yes, people jump without desiring death. Death by splat is better than death by fire.)
