Post the Nimrod fire in Afghanistan the carriage of parachutes was briefly raised so that you could abandon a burning airframe but it was felt impractical given that we’d have had to leave all the passengers behind who might have been distinctly unimpressed watching the crew depart.
In the 1960's the USAF had a novel idea....they equipped their aircraft that had tactical troop seats with enough parachutes for all occupants and one got a brief on the use of the parachute should it become necessary for all to exit short of the intended destination.
My experience with that was on USAF Reserve C-119's.
