I think he's more referring to the P-8, where we have an aft door with an explosive hinge mechanism for the express purpose of opening during flight to bail out...except we have been told never to use it and don't carry parachutes because you will be dragged directly into the stab and immediately sliced in half...
Don’t know the story behind bailout survivability but weight concerns in certain aircraft configurations were a factor in the parachute decision in P-8. Similar story with MAD.
