No, Chris, but that's because you'd have to pull that red handle
down by your ankles.  And you'd have to deal with the
height-reduction that comes with an expediated exit from your
airplane.

The rest of us stare an open doorway in the face.

That does raise an ugly question:  When flying aerobatics we
have to wear a parachute.  If we got into a situation where we
needed to bail out (flat spin, broken appendage, etc), how
exactly could we, in a timely manner, while battling the
G-forces?

I've had a couple of bicycling accidents where I wished I had a
parachute...
