But fundamentally there is a pilot that shouldn;t have got themselves into that position in the first place.
I don't think there is much argument on this point but in all our flying history's there for the grace of god go you or I.

We have all made mistakes, some stupid, some down to ignorance, but we are all here to now use those mistakes to learn and hopefully not do it again.

This guy lost control, lost altitude and 100% correctly pulled the chute, I do not believe the manufacturer, FAA or Insurance company will argue with or fault that decision.

Neither do I believe they will fault a decision to pull the chute in the event of engine failure over the beautiful South Downs meadows, Beech at Le Touquet or anywhere else.
