Secondly, I'm talking about pilots, sorry if I didn't make myself clear. If there is something wrong with the chopper (like a rocket stuck up its rear end) the pilot can't parachute because he'd probably die anyway. If not from the rotors, then probably from the debris falling down from the exploding chopper (since it will be destroyed pretty much right above him). In fact, AFAIK, helicopter pilots don't have parachutes.

What about Having a button that propells the Rotors away from the plane, then enabling you to Parachute?
