Well I dont know the stats but I can safely presume that parachutes do not fail 50% of the time. For arguments sake lets say parachutes fail 10% of the time. You are basically arguing that that 10% would not be important to the individual relying on it to open, right?
Say it had been proven that parachutes fail only 10% of the time and will therefore fail on 1 in 10 people then it seems logical to say that the odds are not 50/50 because that would mean that 5 would fail in every 10.
However this is irrelevant the way I see it. The stats are worthless to that one isolated individual. The parachute can only open or not open. There are only two possible outcomes. It's 50/50.
