The film badges (radiation dosimeters) indicate if a pilot has been exposed to higher levels of ionizing radiation, as from cosmic rays at high altitudes, or from other sources. Limiting the periodic exposure prevents unsafe effects on the flight personnel. Most US pilots now use a different device, a thermoluminescent detector or TLD. So for short: Because they work at high altitudes, pilots are exposed to high levels of background radiation from cosmic rays. To monitor their radiation exposure, pilots wear film badges.

Why do people working around radioactive waste in a radioactive storage facility wear badges that contain strips of photographic film?
The film in the badges changes colour when radiation hits it. By looking at the badges, the people wearing them can tell how much radiation they have been exposed to. They have different strips of film for different types of radiation, so they are not only able to tell how much radiation someone has been exposed to, but also what type of radiation. Its basically a safety measure to ensure that workers are not exposed to excessive levels of radiation emitted from the waste.

The pilot of a small plane parachutes out when the engine stalls is she more likely to land on water or dry land?
Well, first off, if the engine stalls in a small airplane, the airplane can still glide, and pilots are taught to respond immediately to an engine failure by troubleshooting what might be wrong, going through a checklist, and then preparing for an emergency landing. ("Stall", by the way, refers to the wings of the airplane, not the engine... but that's a whole 'nother question.) In any case, pilots of the vast majority of small aircraft don't wear parachutes (except when doing aerobatics). The primary reason you'd want to leave an airplane in an emergency is because the airframe is damaged and the airplane is uncontrollable--which is an exceedingly, exceedingly rare occurrence, although for this reason, pilots performing aerobatics are indeed required to wear parachutes, in case they exceed the limits of the airplane's structure to the point where it's damaged and unflyable. It's pretty darn hard to do. But if she were to parachute out in this case, she'd land on whatever she happened to be over when she jumped. DCE
