If the engine is still running, then you'd probably be still flying and wouldn't need the emergency chute.

Sailplanes need those! I'm sick of wearing a backpack-like parachute while flying one!

@cingalong yes, I know, but if you loose only the engine, and you are high enough, the best choice is to choose a 500ft long place and glide to it. You cannot be sure that the parachute will open correctly, and where you will land. Without a wing I wouldn't hesitate to pull the red handle :)

@cingalong cheers
-
@atd87atd87 Just reach up and pull the chute.

@janrusgo Not every flight is over nice, flat terrain. Sometimes, you have no choice where to put down. And not every emergency involves loss of engine. Loss of control, loss of control surfaces, wing etc. can really spoil the fun.

does any1 know if theres video showing the plane actually landing under the parachute??
-
@cingalong even if you have lost the engine, the best choice is to make an emergency landing

They'd be replacing my seat cushion because it would be soaked in crap.
He could have para glided the plane down instead of smacking straight down on the chute only!

@nadzorka2929 You're assuming the problem will always be an engine failure.
