The above reasons and because Skydiving is more than just yelling Geronimo.
If the pilot can maintain control long enough, at a low enough airspeed for people to stampede each other queued for the doors, well then he or she can maintain slow flight long enough to make a safe landing.
It's also unfortunate when someone accidently snags a D-ring and the victim isn't at the door yet. The chute will find it's way out of the door while the cords can slice the aluminum fuselage open like a hot knife through butter while the chute pulls the cadaver through the empenage.
Has radar technology in commercial aircraft really become more advanced or changed much in technical terms over the last 30 years?

How is Air Force One started? I know big planes don't have keys, but this is Air Force One. Shouldn't there be a key/code, something?
