Moron have you seen heartbreak ridge they where jumping from a CHINNOOK transport helicopter(same one as in renegade)! And the militry does do that. Also how can they be chopped up by the rotors idoit cause ppl will deploy them AFTER they clear the heli!

First of all, Heartbreak Ridge is a movie. Go ask a helipilot for an accurate reference.

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.
