why there is not a parachute in...

Because apparently some of the content belongs to Sony Music Entertainment, and they restrict where it can be played. (Or as the video tells me, 'Denne videoen omfatter innhold fra Sony Music Entertainment. Den er ikke tilgjengelig i ditt land.'😉

Ah right yes. They own a lot of rights to music.

What, you mean, open-topped, with 10 metres squared of deck space per passenger, and cruising at an altitude and speed that probably wouldn't get you safely over the Alps and certainly wouldn't get you from London to Rome within 8 hours?

Nah, couldn't think of a single reason why jet liners aren't built that way.

We could also have ejector seats. I am sure passengers will be comfortable with the idea of being strapped to a rocket.

that's my point. Why is modern jet liner built that way that you can not jump with a parachute ?

Try jumping out at 800 k/hr without a full body suit and armor, see what happens. They do that in fighter jets all the time but they have a heavily protected seat with a rocket to get them the hell away from the doomed craft.

As long as I can fly that rocket to my destination I'm cool with it. 😕

Not to mention ejecting has occupational hazard of causing permanent spinal damage.
