I take you up for a flight in my light aircraft. the engine cuts out. Who gets the only parachute?

Question

We are flying over rough ground, to try and land the plane would be suicide.
There is one parachute, I let you make the decision who gets it (I'm like that);-].
Would you keep it for yourself, or strap me to you, hoping we make a good landing?

Hi Everyone!
Awwww, you are so sweet to strap me to you, this may even be fun, if you're a guy.

If you're a woman, we could natter all the way down, and we'd know each others life story before we hit the ground;-)

Hi again, I've rated everyone thumbs up, however, the ratings have gone to the gods at the yahoo mountain!

Sorry

Hi Lord Backinside,
we meet again.
After all we have meant to each other, you left me in the aircraft to perish.

Well, let me tell you, I held on to the thingy very tight, you surely must have known what was going on. I thought it was tears of pain streaming down your face. It was obviously, joy, you had the chute, you cad you!
You're on rations for a week;-)

Thanks for answering.

Hi CTU,
I can't let you do it, we go together, better you jump on the ground at the last possible minute. You are a genleman!

Thanks for answering.

Hello, Gex aka Ziaka,
talk about unselfish, you've even taken weight into consideration.
Yep, we will have a good natter on the way down, and finish it off in the nearest coffee bar!
Many thanks for answering...

Hi Acid Reign,

You jump, I start the engine and fly to safety.
I hunt you down...
Finding you, I place your body in a straight jacket, made from a
parachute, you plead with me, I smile, and walk away ;-]

Hi MSLETY,
you are sweet to share, I must say all the females are so caring. I am safe in your hands!

Many thanks for answering!

Hi nicemanve,
Nice one, I hadn't thought of that!

Hello crapsake,
good idea we will share the payout from our story, you get a little extra money. I owe you!

Hi ECREAM,
You are a real gentleman!
Thank you...

Hello again shredder,
I catch you going past with the chute, we picnic on the way down! ;-]

Hi,grsygrl,

Thank you, I owe you!

Good afternoon,Kenny boy,
will you be wearing the kilt?
I may hold on to your feet so I can jump away at the last minute;-o)

Good evening, Lt Dan,
It looks as though you know what you are talking about. When we get ground rush, do I get the hard earth or you? ;-)

Answer 1

As I leave with the only parachute I am surprised to find you on the ground to greet me as I land,I ask how did you get down.
You reply, me not dumb me not silly I hang on to your willy

Answer 2

yes either I would strap us together and make sure that I hit the ground first so you have a better chance to survive or I would just give you the only parachute and try to land. I would not mind going out of this world knowing that I saved someone elses life.

Answer 3

Had to think about this one.

The decision you should have really made (because your'e like that) was so have packed two parachutes!

The first thought would be to try and restart the engine.

The next is to be annoyed because you were running late and forgot to refuel her.

The logical answer is for both of us to jump out, and pull both the main and reserve parachute and hope for the best.

Unfortunately unless your plane is equipped with auto pilot my guess is that it would rapidly lose stability,nose dive and crash before we even had time to escape.(lets face it the engine has stopped and the plane is losing altitude already)

In reality you made the ultimate mistake of buying a plane and not a glider.

Hope this helps and remember to pack two parachutes next time
:)

Answer 4

I would strap both of us if we could. If not I would take it because I have 2 kids at home and a wonderful husband. If you have kids to then I would see who has the youngest. I have a 2 month old baby and a 10 year old daughter.

Answer 5

I'd strap you to me! Or I'd give you the parachute and I'd jump out without one. There was a guy in WW2 who jumped out of a bomber at 18,000 feet without a parachute and he survived (landed on some snow!).

Answer 6

Hi Cassandra, I would definately strap you to me and take our chances together. That is the only moralistic thing to do! What an experience and a story to tell if we survived eh?

Answer 7

I'd strap you to me, it's a Special Forces thing my Uncle showed me. You do land pretty rough, but it beats dying.

Answer 8

You get the chute and I would glide the plane in to a gentle landing and then we would celebrate.

Answer 9

Knowing my luck i would end up strapping a rucksack on my back and when i pulled the cord all i would see above me is my flask and sandwiches !! lol

Answer 10

I take the parachute. In your last moments, you can ponder why you took another person onto YOUR plane without packing a spare.
