Parachuting is hard and requires hours of training at the very least.

Modern airliners travel so fast that, due to the crushing airflow, as well as the possibility of hitting the outside of the plane, simply exiting the plane could kill you.

Modern airliners travel so high up, each person would require oxygen masks for the descent. 35,000 is about three times the height of a conventional skydive.

Air outside an airliner is subzero. That’s not even factoring in windchill caused by traveling at speeds of 400, 500mph…

Air pressure differential could cause lungs to explode “Boyle’s law says there’s an inverse relationship between atmospheric pressure and the volume of a gas.”

Logistics of parachuting every passenger during an emergency would be insane.

Parachutes are big and bulky and would add significant weight to the plane in order to accommodate every passenger and crew member.

Almost all airline accidents occur during take-off and landing.

“only 9% of fatal accidents in the last two decades have occurred when the plane was cruising.”
