AI synopsis

What people are saying

Throughout the discussions, users frequently reference the 2003 BMJ paper by Smith and Pell, noting the lack of randomized trials on parachute efficacy, with words like 'classic' and 'humorist' emphasizing both the satire and seriousness of the topic. The tone varies from playful skepticism—'Is this a joke?'—to serious critique of evidence standards, illustrating a balanced mix of curiosity and critical thinking about scientific validation.

AgreementModerate agreement

Most discussions acknowledge that there are no rigorous RCTs confirming parachutes' effectiveness, aligning with the article's humorous conclusion about the lack of evidence.

InterestHigh interest

Participants show high curiosity about the study's findings, referencing it frequently and exploring its implications for evidence-based medicine.

EngagementModerate engagement

Comments range from lighthearted mentions to serious reflections on scientific research methods, indicating a moderate but thoughtful depth of engagement.

ImpactHigh impact

The discussions highlight the broader implications of the study, emphasizing how it challenges assumptions and raises important questions about scientific validation and medical practices.

Abstract in brief

  • This systematic review aimed to evaluate whether parachutes effectively prevent death and major trauma during free fall, but found no randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the subject.
  • Despite the widespread assumption that parachutes save lives, the authors highlight that the effectiveness of parachutes has not been scientifically tested through rigorous RCTs, which are considered the gold standard in medical research.
  • The authors suggest that conducting a double-blind, placebo-controlled RCT on parachutes would help provide definitive evidence, emphasizing the importance of evidence-based medicine even for well-established safety measures.]

@c0nc0rdance An earlier 2003 study https://t.co/n0gNZGmhfa Concluded there’s no good evidence to support parachutes as effective when jumping out of a plane. The point is that we can’t necessarily have high quality RCTs for everything. Some things we must take as prima facie evident.

“There are no randomized controlled trials of HRT” Here’s a systemic review of randomized controlled trials regarding Parachute use to prevent death and major trauma related to gravitational challenge from 2003. They were unable to find any. Therefore, parachutes might not work https://t.co/wLSX3KpD9d

In 2018, "Parachute use to prevent death and major trauma when jumping from aircraft: randomized controlled trial" was published in the British Medical Journal. It sought to determine if wearing a parachute when jumping from a plane had any impact on survivability. It did not.

Whoops! I stand corrected, sort of. There was an RCT on parachutes, but parachute use did not significantly reduce death or major injury. Next time I'll search the literature more thoroughly before posting www.bmj.com/content/363/...

In 2018, "Parachute use to prevent death and major trauma when jumping from aircraft: randomized controlled trial" was published in the British Medical Journal. It sought to determine if wearing a parachute when jumping from a plane had any impact on survivability. It did not.

@TheRealDHR @KatyMontgomerie @ATinyBitCrazy There have been no RCTs for the effectiveness of parachutes prior to this study. "As w/ many interventions intended to prevent ill health, the effectiveness of parachutes has not been subjected to rigorous evaluation by using randomised controlled trials." https://t.co/ccxfEVscfk

@c0nc0rdance An earlier 2003 study https://t.co/n0gNZGmhfa Concluded there’s no good evidence to support parachutes as effective when jumping out of a plane. The point is that we can’t necessarily have high quality RCTs for everything. Some things we must take as prima facie evident.

The only thing I would add is that lots of questions/topics don’t warrant quant experimental designs. It’s possible to directly observe or describe causal mechanisms. Like we don’t need to run clinical trials to test if parachutes save lives (see https://t.co/x3T9m0cVk0 ). https://t.co/q3L31sxyDm

@DanielWhitby @bmj_latest @PatrickOwenPhD @PhysioMeScience @evidenzpt @LarsDonath Yes, the teaspoon one was a very nice one. My absolute favourite is (of course) the #systematicreview of parachute effectiveness in preventing injury/death https://t.co/jQ35qfGrVl (Also because it does make you think about evidence based medicine)

Given that the body of expert knowledge on covid-19 is undoubtedly flawed, it is tempting to think that a more agnostic perspective, with fewer a priori commitments, is somehow epistemically superior. But taken too far this is a dangerous position. https://t.co/SrmeCpTTQn https://t.co/L7Ucb6jblz

En effet, il n’existe aucune étude prouvant que le parachute permet d’éviter la mort ou des blessures graves. Une méta-analyse l’ a montré. Le parachute n’est donc pas plus efficace que l’homéopathie?
