An instructor glided on a collision course and successfully made contact and opened the man's parachute at around 4,000 feet.

THAT is the definition of "expert in one's field."

Might be a good idea to refrain from further skydiving activities.

I have never jumped out of a perfectly good airplane, but in my medical opinion, this could have ended badly.

Usually students wear an Automatic Activation Device which would have opened his reserve. Still it was the right thing to do for the instructor provided he kept himself safe, the AAD could have failed.

I’m filling out a life insurance policy on him. Spell his name again for me. Seriously, he should take that instructor out for steaks.

Men that jump out of perfectly good airplanes are not sane
