Is it illegal to bring your own parachute on a commercial airplane?

Question

I want to wear it at all times.

Are you kidding me, if the planes wings fell off the biggest guy on the plane would most likely karate chop me and take my parachute right before I grabbed it from overhead!

Charlie, I would wait till the plane was low enough to jump, and yes I would like to have that option. I think you are missing the point, I dont care if I jump out and die, it will make me feel better, I will be at ease with a parachute even if there is a good chance it wouldnt help.

obviously Johnathan was too dumb to see that I said I would be wearing the parachute on my back the whole plane ride.

Answer 1

for your info....

yes it will fit in the overhead bin and pack is in allowable dimention and weight by airline operator.

but...

no passenger is allowed by the airport security to bring a parachute in the plane as a carry-on bag. maybe before... but NOW nomore. you will be ask to place it in your check-in luggage or leave it on the airport.

and...

it is only in the movies that people can jump out a commercial plane without the pilots knowing it. yes your parachute is rated with high altitude jumps but airspeed of the plane is also considered before jumping. plane should first slow down so that the pack will not be rip off..

Answer 2

Airplane With A Parachute

Answer 3

If it fits the carry on luggage weight requirements or the airline has a policy to allow you to carry on oversized bags for a fee then yes.

I'm just curious. Are you a trained sky diver? Have you ever used a chute before? Have you ever tried to open a door mid flight at any point in your life with a full slip stream pressing it shut (if you have successfully done this, I'd suggest a career as world's strongest man)

Basically if you really wanted to then yes you could. As you state about the wings falling off, your odds are more likely that while on your way to visit a magic talking zebra, you win a winning lottery ticket which then conducts electricity from a lightening bolt that kills you.

Answer 4

check out the info on www.uspa.org about traveling with rigs. yes you can bring the rig, yes you can wear it, and despite the idea you have that it will help you, it really will not. Not to mention the panic you will cause in other passengers and the very uncomfortable flight you will have. I travel for a living and I jump for fun. I have no interest in wearing my rig in the plane unless I plan to leave the plane.

Answer 5

Have you ever heard of "D. B. Cooper" ??

Guy tried to parachute out of a passenger plane with stolen money and was never heard frm again !

Answer 6

Obviously either you have never BEEN on an airplane or your are too dumb to figure out that a parachute would NOT FIT under the seat in front of you or in the OVERHEAD locker... which is required for ALL CARRYON LUGGAGE.

This was a stupid question.

Answer 7

confident. genuinely a Mylar parachute could be actually accommodated in a leap in advantageous condition it quite is to die for, yet no longer tremendously paranoid. as long as one would not quite brag to the passengers one is so equipped i can't see because it truly is preventable, given seek and seizure rules. ideas you, if found out it ought to violate particular rules. examine with all governing our bodies you would be flying over.

Answer 8

Yes, you can bring it on board,
no you won't be allowed to wear it on your back the whole time,
they will ask you to store it in the overhead bin or under the seat in front of you.

Answer 9

Didn't you read the answers to your previous question? And you STILL want to jump out of a commercial airliner?

Answer 10
