Airfare will undoubtedly go up

Hey I got a question MMike. Why dont they just attach a big parachute to the planes so when they start to crash, the big chute opens up and everyone lives?
Greatest idea ever!
...and make the whole thing out of the same stuff they make the black boxes out of?
Seriously, I always wondered why the main cabin couldnt just split off from the rest of the plane and then a big chute would open up. It seems so simple to me.
Warm, wet, fuzzy happiness?
"...some toilets are designed to restrict the size of... that can be flushed.."
As if creating a stink in one of those bathrooms wasn't embarrasing enough.

Approved.
They have them for small planes. They don't make sense for larger ones as the size and weight required would leave room for about 3 passengers. It is not like airplanes crashing are a significant problem anyway.
It is for the people on the planes.
Like the one that Corey whatshisname flew into that bldg in NY...that one has a parachute.
I wonder how thick and numerous the cables attaching the parachute would have to be to withstand opening with a THWHACK!! at 500 mph....and how beefy the fittings would have to be where the cables would be fastened....
and for that matter, I wonder what kind of force/deceleration the people on-board would undergo.... everyone's eyes would explode...or ther heads would snap clean off....or they'd be sliced in two by the seat belt......
GREAT idea there Burly....pffffft.....

In case of emergency the oxygen masks should drop and output a mixture of O2, Nitrous Oxide and bong smoke. If people are going to die they might as well go down happy. Personally I'd start punching the fat guy sitting next to me in the face seeing as though I always get stuck next to some fat guy and alway want to punch them in the face.
Instead of a parachute, maybe you could deploy a giant inflatable "sphere of safety" that would act as a cushion when you hit the ground.
Im pretty sure it would work. Quit coming up with excuses for why it wont.
yup, for all those real-life situations where you tackle the bad guys, knock the detonators out of their hands, and realize that there's still a (nice bright digital) timer showing you have exactly 10sec before it explodes. just enough time for the hero to grab explosives, run, and throw in bomb disposal unit (shaped like trash chute). happens every day, i've heard...
(side note, if I'm ever designing a bomb I'm going to have the nice little digital timer, and have it set to go off at 1:27sec left on the timer. *that'll* keep those do-gooders from snipping the red wire with 2 sec left. <evil laugh>)
Can't help it. It's my job here to come up with excuses. It's on my business card.
Just have the entire passenger compartment fill with expandable foam.
haha i can jsut see the plane start going down and the flight attendants start handing out balloons. that would be the best way to die
