Why does Hasbro put chutes on non pjs

I dream of a day where I have an outbuilding with high ceilings and can construct a dio that incorporates pjs. The RoC Para Vipers are some of my favorite figs ever. My Cobra Invasion Troopers have all graciously donated their 'chutes to the PVs.
I can't wait to build my collection up again, I sold it all in 2012 and haven't even looked at any figs since, so many new sculpts and awesome modern military gear that has came out since!
I probably don't know what I'm talking about either, I think I meant HALO like airborne and skydive
Airborne was air assault, I.E. rode to battle in a helicopter. Skydive's background sorta jives with him having HALO/MFF training.
I guess what your asking is why the hell did Hasbro use that cool-ass HALO gear on the Para-Viper and Retaliation Airborne but not include working parachutes?

Airborne v2 (i.e. different character, same codename) was in fact a parachute expert, along with Freefall and the rest of "Sky Patrol" back in '90. Sounds like Retaliation Sgt Airborne could be that guy, not Franklin Talltree - the Airborne of our youth.
Hasbro did do a 12" Air Force Halo Jumper. It even had a working ram-air chute. I'm just surprised that it has taken this long to get a working parachute on an ME Joe.
They ended up using it on the Club's Night Force Hit n' Run (and supposedly FSS Hit n' Run).

Good info thanks, I wish they would do a lifeline with a real uniform instead of the shoot me red.
