Well if he opened his chute at precisely the right moment he could have settled softly on the back of the EI. If he could manuever himself over the wing area to avoid the tail, he's homefree, provided he swiftly cut the cords to his chute and held on tightly to, say a flap. Some good rubber soled shoes would be good here. The wake turbulence would tatter the chute a bit so he would want to purchase a new one after he landed. I think I saw it done in a Rambo movie or something. Anything to add to that anengineer?
