What about the families of survivors? I'm just thinking too much again.
Yes
Also if your parachute fails, you have a second, angrier parachute as a backup
You need to buy the thing to leave a review

Oh man just as I’m about to go skydiving today cuz I got convinced to join while at a bar last night😬
...and we never heard from @HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com again.
If a parachute fails due to manufacturing defects, wouldn't that be bad news?
The joke is that the person with a failed shoot dies and therefore can’t leave a review.
Yup, it’s a dumb joke.
Peggy Hill disagrees.
That episode never sat right with me. I don't care how soft the mud is. There is no way anyone could survive a fall from 15k ft!
From my understanding, that is a thing that actually happens from time to time in real life.
Which is horrifying.
Same applies to coffin companies. Not a single user came back to complain.
Parachutes are not scientificaly proven to reduce skydiving deaths. There's never been a double blind study done.
I'm in the market for a golden one, I've heard they are really good.
I heard they're unethical. Made with slave labour or something.
Depends on the size. A 65 year old who's been working hard their whole life might get a small golden parachute and those ones are less unethical. CEOs and world leaders get the enormous golden chutes and there is no way to make one of those without child labour, slave labour, and other forms of exploitation.
