It's not 50/50, you seem to be caught up on the idea that it'll either happen or it won't but that's far from making it a 50/50 scenario, sounds more like you're referring to it being a 100% chance it'll be one of those two. If it's 50/50, that means half the time it'd open, half it wouldn't, simple as that (what is this, kindergarten material?) and that would be implying half the people that go skydiving die, which I'm sure would make it illegal by now
