Yes i`m sure they are MFG`d and depending on your size ,
{ xxs, or smaller } you may be able to get in one of these tiny aircraft, and someone on the outside could, with the use of some force, close the door. I seriously doubt, however, that you would be able to `take to the air, once in flight, without taking off the doors, before flight. It would be foolhardy to exit a small aircraft experiencing partial or full power loss, as an `A` pilot would be a busy person at the very least, trying to maintain best glide, searching for his sweetest spot to land, talking to somebody, attempting to restore power, preparing for emergency landing, and he`d be doing it all the way to hard deck. Besides, Pilots train for this and other scenarios, me and my friends cannot not understand why anyone would jump out of a perfectly fine aircraft at all, so I won`t go there.
Oh Yeah, FAR`s state that the only aircraft that REQUIRED to carry parachutes, are those which expect to pitch up or down in excess of 15 degrees from level flight, or banking {rolling} in excess of 60 degrees from wings level, If this sounds easy, the Air Force, Navy could use a few brave INDIVIDUALS, give them a call

Even better you can fit parachutes to the aircraft itself these days, certainly up to C150 size. A small rocket deploys the chute above the aircraft.
If you need one for aerobatics then look at some of the lightweight packs the gliding people use.

Yes, at the University of North Dakota pilots in the Piper Cub spin trainer are required to wear a parachute if anything goes wrong, they are out the door... no one has ever had to use it, but its there.

None that I know of...but why would you want or need one anyway? C-150's and C172's are good flying aircraft as long as you do not try to make them operate outside their design parameters.
I have many hours logged in both types of aircraft. never needed a parachute in any of them.

I think he may be refering to the reg that states aerobatic maneuvers with a passenger both passengers are required to have a paracute, Remember there is a 152 certified for aerobatic flight

If you're thinking parachutes, it could be your confidence level which is lacking. Maybe flying just isn't quite right for you ?
