Just had a thought, feel free to develop it!
How about an escape pod?
Fitted with EPIRBS, flotation, independent air supply, fire suppression (or re-route fuel and lube/hyraulic oil) and air braking/parachute, self-righting. All fitted within a carbon fibre/Kevlar enclosure.
Any issue with airworthiness, the pilot issues an alert, presses the jettison button and away you go!
At the moment we are at the mercy of the airframe/aircrew and I'm not blaming anybody but a testable/survivable module should help to reduce casualties and eliminate any fears.
Think of the fun at your next Bosiet, dropping from a parachute tower into a basin of water!
