I'm lucky enough to see military and civilian flying. In military, there's tonnes of aeros and spins. I always wear a chute (as the rules dictate), and I wouldn't consider anything else. I was doing spin trips yesterday, and it is easy to see how you could get disorientated and killed quite easily. When I fly civvy, I don't wear a chute, but then I don't do aeros. I suppose its up to you, if you think that you/the instructor won't make any mistakes and that the aircraft will not have any failures/emergencies then don't wear a chute. Personally, I don't fancy those odds
