Skydivers' plane collides with another @ 9000feet, loses wings, catches fire, everybody dies....NOT!!!!
They all escaped, even the pilot!

Well, that about fits my criteria for when I would ever jump out of an airplane.
Lost both wings, and on fire.
(I do not enjoy heights)

Ditto. Never understood people whose idea of fun is jumping out of a perfectly flyable airplane.
As far as I'm concerned parachutes exist for two reasons:
1) The airplane is going to crash, whether you're in it or not, best not.
2) It's absolutely imperative that you be at a particular place on the ground, and the aircraft can't/won't land to drop you off.

But what a story! There I was, 9,000 feet, no wings, engines on fire, crammed in shoulder-to-shoulder with a bunch of punk kid skydivers --.
