You wouldn’t actually splat… You’d bounce. And jumping isn’t too much of a dare. It’s fun! I like to do backflips out of planes! Although flat out diving like off a diving board is pretty sweet too. Or climbing out on the side of the plane and just letting going… OR you know, climbing out on the side of the plane and doing a proper exit. Either way…
Actually, that’s not entirely accurate. Today, parachutes are designed with built in microchips which detect your altitude and rate of fall and will deploy automatically if you fail to pull your chute at the correct time. So technically the poster is correct. All you need to do is jump. Pulling the cord is irrelevant. Well, assuming you turned on your microchip.
Now this little platitude I really don’t get. See, a parachute isn’t even necessary if you don’t jump. That would seem to suggest that what he’s trying to say is it’s a good idea to do something dangerous just so you get to avoid the consequences. Like saying “Life-saving surgery doesn’t work unless you get yourself shot in the face.”

I gather the word “Splat!” means nothing to this guy…

You don’t need to jump. You can be pushed.
well, technically, it could be grave for you if you miss the technicality
Lol, just take it as funny and don’t get technical about it.
What about parasailing?
Dimwitted status: check.
Liking own post: check.
What would make the trifecta of dumbass/jerkass statuses, I wonder?

I have seen people burn in and it is not a bounce! They hit and stop on hard ground. The body absorbs it all!!
A parachute onnly works if it ain’t broken
