Don't know why one needs a parachute. Once the aircraft starts to spin you will be pinned to the wall. No way you will get out.
Why would it get into a spin in the first place? Most likely scenario (on our aircraft) is a deep stall - aircraft is either on it's back or severly nose up and dropping like a rock. We run grab handles along the ceiling and the floor for exactly that reason.
