Monday was full of tension for those flying from Mumbai. In fact, on October 14, bomb threats were made on three flights taking off from Mumbai. The first flight in this was of Air India, which was going from Mumbai to New York. The second and third flights were of Indigo. While Air India flights were diverted, Indigo planes were sent to isolation bays and are now being investigated. Well, now people are asking on social media that If such a situation ever arises, can the passengers present in the plane use parachute? However, before knowing this, you need to know whether there are parachutes for passengers in passenger flights or not. Let us now know about it in detail.
Parachute in commercial flights

The biggest argument given behind this is that security priorities are most important in commercial flights.

Now the question arises that what will happen if an emergency ever occurs. The argument is that if such a problem ever arises, the pilot has emergency protocols in place. Under these protocols, there is a plan to land the plane safely. Now coming to the question why passengers cannot use parachutes.
Actually, using parachutes is not a simple process. It can be used only by people who have received training in it. If civilians are allowed to use parachutes without any training, it can prove fatal for them. Apart from this, the design of commercial planes is not such that the passengers sitting in them can jump out wearing a parachute. If a passenger jumps from a commercial plane under any circumstances, there is a great chance that he may get hit by the engine of the plane. If this happens, not only will that passenger die, but the entire ship may crash.
