Are you allowed to wear a small parachute on a commercial flight?

Something that might save your life should you get sucked out of the plane?

Go home. You're drunk.

I would think you could bring it as one of your two carry on pieces. Either under seat or fits above.

If I ever work in a tall building I'm getting one for my office

I'm curious if the metal pieces would raise attention to it and then TSA would be suspicious of you for having a way to jump out of the plane.

lack of oxygen would have you dead on most commercial flights before you had the chance to ever deploy the chute.

I've met a number of people who formerly worked in the Sears Tower recently. And one girl was telling me tonight about how on her floor the building would rock so hard from the wind every once in awhile that the Windows would ripple under the pressure.
Also, supposedly, working in the Sears Tower sucks because it take forever to get to your office. It's a maze of 1-2 elevators and 2-3 escalators to get to your office. They said their commute was 10-20 minutes longer once they entered the building. And heaven help you if they're repairing something.

That pressure drop would kill you.
The pressure difference is so great, that you couldn't even open the doors on the side of the plane. It would require an unrealistic amount of force. The plane is essentially a vacuum. And if the plane split in half, you'd be sucked out and either killed instantly or knocked out at the very least. Parachute would do absolutely no good. Sorry to crush your spirit. But if a plane is fricked, so are you. Unless the pilot could pull off a miraculous emergency landing.

Most plane crashes you would hold on to the hope the crash landing will be successful I'd imagine. To open the emergency exit would unleash hell for everyone onboard.
I'd imagine both engines failing simultaneously would be rare. And if something crazy happened like a wing braking off it would be pretty impressive to navigate your way out of that plane.
And like another poster said, I have no idea about the legality of bringing a parachute, but you better get there pretty earlier for your flight bc you that would raise some eyebrows going through security

Wierd but I was just thinking of this yesterday.

Even if you someone managed to survive the initial ejection and open your chute it would be ripped to shreds. They aren't designed to open at 500 mph.

Then there's the fact that you wouldn't be acclimated to the altitude and couldn't breathe.

How high was cooper when he bailed?
Posted on 7/17/16 at 7:32 am to Sparkplug#1
Around 10k feet, but the plane was also going slow as frick. So slow, that the pilots were fearful the engines would stall.

What's the point of those exits then?
Posted on 7/17/16 at 7:38 am to tigersownall
...so you can exit when the plane is on the ground or in the water.
