Default Flying with Parachutes

Now that Cessna thing: I don't wear a parachute when I'm flying my
Cessna, because I don't have a Cessna; instead, I bought an airplane
with it's own parachute.

Another point: many Cessnas, Pipers and other light aircraft only have a
single door, often not on the pilot's side, AND the door is hinged at the
front, so the chances of anybody getting out, especially if they were
wearing a parachute, is much lower than it is for a glider.
