Topic	Parachutes don't actually reduce the risk of injury when jumping from airplanes.
rikasa 12/17/18 5:19:16 AM #36:	That no one would ever jump out of an aeroplane without a parachute has often been used to argue that randomising people to either a potentially life saving medical intervention or a control would be inappropriate, and that the efficacy of such an intervention should be discerned from clinical judgment alone. We disagree, for the most part. We believe that randomisation is critical to evaluating the benefits and harms of the vast majority of modern therapies, most of which are unlikely to be nearly as effective at achieving their end goal as parachutes are at preventing injury among people jumping from aircraft. That's really interesting. --- you are not alone <cite>rikasa posted [p:914263058] in Parachutes...
