If a car going 120 MPH hits another car going 120 MPH, you're dead. Two
planes going the same speed hitting each other is no diffrent,
parachute or not.

Pilots of combat aircraft have survived midairs at much higher speeds than
that.

No argument there, however, your original statement was "The chances
of surviving a mid air is just about the same as the chances to
survive a car accident." Nothing in there about going 120 miles an
hour.
