YOU ARE ALL MISSING THE POINT!
AIRPLANES DOORS (Airliners) CAN'T BE OPENED IN FLIGHT!
The way the system works, the doors just wont open!
Can anyone imagine the dissaster in trying to jump 100s of people, depressurizing the cabin, the CG off balance as people try to get of the door, etc?

A ligitimate question - pity you didnt get some ligitimate answers.
Modern airliners are not designed to allow people to bail out.
Carrying a parachute for every passenger would add so much un-necessary weight.
99.99% of passengers would have no idea how to use a parachute.
Modern airliners do not have the mechanical failures that aircraft in the past had.
I hope that is of some help to you - the list could go on for a lot more.

Floating on a cushion is a little easier than strapping into a parachute, learning how to use it, and queuing in line with everyone else out the nearest exit.....this by the way is all happening while the plane is spinning out of control throwing you around the cabin like a ragdoll.

Simple training necessary to operate a parachute. Soon Ballistic Parachutes will deploy and gently lower the entire aircraft to the ground. The passengers might not survive the lack of oxygen. Buy they will look marvelous!

Because too many beginner parachuters is a bad thing. Besides, what's the point of a parachute when everybody is going to drown to death due to lack of flotation devices?

with the speed of the plane 4-500mph you would never make it, but lets suppose you did, your still most likely at altitudes of about 35,000ft, the air is thin and you would not survive without a oxygen mask. The air level is safe around 10,000 ft. So it's safer to try to land in water where you have some chance of survival..

i'm guessing that any situation whilst interior the sky does no longer incorporate one that shall we bounce removed from. uncertain how plenty a parachute weighs, yet that and storage might additionally be a situation. ask your self whether there is one for the pilot. in line with danger those that artwork in extreme rises(or stay there)could also have a parachute too. i might desire to by no potential use the two.

because neither of them are going to save you, but if the airline gives you the impression that if somthing were to go wrong all you would have to do is slide down a nice floating device youll feel safer,

because they know that no one would survive bailing out.
But occasionally people survive if the plane runs off the end of the runway and lands in the water at low speed.

Because 3/4ths of the Earths surface is covered by water.
