The changes of an airplane crashing are relatively low. On an airplane, when you add weight, extra fuel s needs to be burned to keep the extra weight flying. When you add hundreds of parachutes, the fuel burn increase is substantial on each flight which would make it very expensive for airlines to add parachutes for eveyone on an airplane.

What is the reason for different designs on parachutes?

Different parachutes are used to meet different needs. This one is highly steerable, this one can support more weight, this one can stand up to the higher opening shock of a delayed opening jump, etc. And some parachutes, like the one above, have very specialized uses- stopping an airplane or a race car.

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
