Interesting to see that he was hit by a truck as he landed, I do wonder if the chute is really better than gliding down, can't see you have much control where you go with the chute, though maybe glide to a safe place (not over a road!) then use it is a good way to go, but otherwise I think I would be saving it for things like a midair/ structural failure.
