would be violent exit too. Some kind of airlock between the cabin and the "out door?"
The person would be sucked out of the plane into a low 02 very cold environment and then
they would have to free fall X # of feet before deploying his or her parachute. Lots of variables
here. I would think the exit from the plane would put the person into shock and they wouldn't
be able to open their parachute.

The only way to really know is to run multiple tests.
