I don't know why when rich/important people fly in helicopters, EACH passenger doesn't have a dedicated skydiver with a parachute ready to attach gear and jump out at any second

I’d imagine because when a helicopter is going down is absolutely not the time to jump. Depending on how it goes down, you’re at risk of both rotors or just getting hit by the helicopter itself.

Helicopters don't go down in an orderly manner such that you could easily skydive from it.
