So CFI's get to do stuff that we can not do without them. With no chutes,
CFI's and students, and others all splat the same. Just a comment.

And a valid one. CFI's are presumed to have a high level of skill and
judgment, and thus it is assumed that an adequate level of safety will
be maintained even without parachutes.

The presumption is wrong. Holding a CFI ticket only proves an ability
to jump through some FAA hoops. Because of this, spin training
accidents killed more people than inadvertent spins back when spin
training was required for all pilots. The solution SHOULD have been a
higher level of spin qualification for CFI's, both so the accidents in
training would not happen and so the people teaching spins actually
knew what they were teaching. The solution WAS to stop requiring spin
training.
