Not enough praise can be heaped on the Hawaiian Parasail personnel who arrived on scene first and helped him untangle, and the USCG for bringing him in.

It sounds like the parasail folks were witnesses rather than rescuers.

"...Jamey Regelbrugge was captaining a boat for Hawaiian Parasail south of Oahu when he saw the jet fly over the parachute he was pulling behind his boat. He saw the pilot eject and the plane crash into the water. Almost in an instant, the Coast Guard came and pulled the pilot out of the water..."

Well done to the USCG who happened to be ‘Johnny on the Spot”

It sounds like the parasail folks were witnesses rather than rescuers.

They were both. One of the parasail boat crewmen, who has experience in untangling chute lines in the water, of course, leaped into the water and helped him get free of his chute, and hung with him until the Coasties could get to him.

Dude's top notch.
