Go visit your local drop zone and see if you can rent a pilot’s chute. All pilots of drop planes where parachutes, usually flat packs which make it easy to wear in our type of aircraft while flying.

Aircraft Spruce sells parachutes. I used one for the test period on my 10. It is one of the few aircraft you could actually use a parachute without a lot of special rigging to get rid of the door.Mine is a National 425. Kind of pricey but if needed priceless.

If you were to get out, how do you know you can clear the tail?

Better chance of clearing the tail than the ground.

Certainly there is a chance to hit it but remember that your velocity is that of the aircraft; I would forcibly launch myself about perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The plan may not be perfect but the door. when they exit the aircraft, don't always hit the horizontal stab. Of the four door episodes only one hit the stab.What ever the result it would seem better to land by parachute rather than in the aluminum ball one just exited.

The parachute comment was a joke as I was lamenting the recent spate of ignition systems issues. The thought of placing two different ignition systems in your plane for redundancy and they both have problems. That being said… I expect opening the door should take care of the tail.

I won't soapbox here too much, but I'll just say that if you plan to use a parachute as a form of egress in an emergency, it'd be prudent to get some actual training. Round parachutes, square parachutes, it all makes a difference, so definitely get some input from someone with experience before you buy. Just as a point of reference, 32% of all the skydiving fatalities in the last 5 years worldwide happened during landing with a fully functioning parachute. I've lost a few friends this way, and I'd like to remind people that a functioning parachute does not equal safety. Especially with no training and no experience. Just so you know who's giving advice, I've been skydiving for a few years, have a little over 2000 skydives, and around 100 base jumps. Heck, I blew off working on the airplane yesterday and went jumpin - made 11 jumps. Skydiving's fun! everyone should try it. especially if you expect it to maybe save your life sometime!
I don't mean to be a bummer, and I think parachutes are neato, and extremely useful. It's certainly better to have a parachute and no training rather than no parachute if you really need it. I'm just an advocate for training.
