BREAKING NEWS!!!
In the first ever randomized clinical trial, we demonstrated that parachutes did NOT prevent death or major injury compared to control in individuals jumping from aircraft.

Our editorial, behind the scenes of the trial, linked below. N.B. to the public - please continue to use parachutes for skydiving.https://blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2018/12/13/we-jumped-from-planes-without-parachutes-and-lived-to-tell-the-tale/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+bmj%2Fblogs+%28Latest+BMJ+blogs%29&g=w_bmj-com …

I don’t trust trials not registered at clinical http://trials.gov with a prespecified plan.

We tried hard at the Sri Lankan Clinical Trials Registry. They were not amused. But a prespecified protocol? Check.pic.twitter.com/ckWf3WvQBP

Dang, I’m impressed your IRB let you screen people on real flights, even if none of them enrolled...
@EricSecemskyMD must have really turned up the charm. -
most understanding IRB of all time (Credit to Alan Lisbon and Jessie Ripton). They got the humor - but it took a few meetings and LOTS of explaning. Plus we had an exclusion it we deemed the person to lack rational decision making capacity.
-
Secretly, this was a delirium screening test that everyone passed by rejecting the offer to enroll.

Ankur. Lots of credit to go around - grateful for an amazing group of colleagues. -
The shear intellect is so amazing! I agree with
@bnallamo; perhaps the crown jewel of your already illustrious career, and then you back it up with the@rkwadhera@JAMA_current paper.#takeabow

Tell me. How did you get your IRB approval for this trial design? What if there is a crazy person who agreed to be randomized jumping off the plane in the sky with or without a parachute?
-
Haha we had an out clause if investigators deemed the individual to not be making a rational decision. - it was obviously rigged from the start. But actually many trials have similar provisions for investigators to use their discretion to exclude patients.
