 Again...from an aerobatic airplane designed to be bailed out of.  Lucky
 guy...out at 700 feet and made it.  I too have experience with
 parachutes and I can attest to how difficult it is to get out of a 172
 with the door off and the pilot slowing the plane to stall speed.  It's
 a free country...if it makes you feel better...wear a chute.
