Because there is distance to the ground, man. Is that not enough?

Did do gliding a few years ago, that was fun.
Did 10 dives myself. Hang glided. Have pilot's license. Was in a hotair balloon that crashed. Talked risk averse fiancee into skydiving.

Nahh, humans don't reflect radar, and arn't hot enough to attract heat seeking missiles. Can not be safer when confronted with hostile integrated air defense system than bailing out and parachuting to the ground.
