More on Cessna's new "Cirrus Killer"
"most probably"...
If the collision had taken place on the wing or anywhere other than the
fuselage, then maybe. But a direct hit to where the pilot was sitting,
no parachute could have helped any.
The chances of surviving a mid air is just about the same as the
chances to survive a car accident. Except most cars have re-inforced
steel girders, crumple zones, airbags, etc. An airplane is just a piece
of flimsy light-weight alumnium.
