This is a great example and a good one to discuss. Another way of looking at it is that you have an evidence-based belief that you have (say) a 99.99% chance of being fine, based on what you know about other parachutes rates of not opening, and then you calculate you accept that risk. That's very different from believing (without evidence) that there is a 100% chance this parachute is fine.
