A yellow shirt won't save anyone if they go arse up. The only good it would do up there is let your mates know where you are going to land so they could keep an eye on your trajectory & where to dig for your wallet.

A steam engine owned by engineer and celebrity Fred Dibnah has been sold for £240,000 at a Cambridgeshire auction.
Michael Oliver, a Cheshire businessman, made the winning bid and said the engine will be based in the north west of England.
Mr Dibnah, the Bolton steeplejack who shot to fame in a television documentary about his life, restored the machine over a 25-year period.
It was last used to pull his coffin at his 2004 funeral.
The engine was built in 1912 and was thought to have been commissioned by the War Department.
In 2004, Mr Dibnah intended to drive the locomotive to Buckingham Palace to pick up his MBE.
