Why do all glider pilots wear a parachute and yet GA pilots seldom do?
Tell me micromalc, in the event of being involved in an incident requiring use of a chute, how do you propose getting out of your average single or multi in sufficient time ?
In a Warrior, for example, you would need to undo your restraints, then get from the left hand seat, to the right hand seat, open the door ...... if you have the average GA physique of being middle aged and slightly overweight, you would be better off using the time to give the wife a call to say you won't be home for dinner !
If you're regularly doing aeros with advanced stuff like flat spins, then I certainly would see the potential attraction of wearing a chute ..... but for average GA excursions ..... I'm not so convinced .... if I wanted to wear a chute whenever I go flying, I would have joined the RAF, or become a test pilot ....
