There was a midair between an ASK-21 and towplane in Canada a year and a half ago. The towplane made it back to the runway. Sadly, the instructor and student made no attempt to use the chutes they were wearing. You won't have the time to brief a bailout at 2000' AGL. Best done on the ground.

Jbl, if you're just trying to find a local rigger check the Sebastian and Clewiston drop zones. Chuter's in DeLand is great, but Lake Wales and Dunn Airpark would still be closer.
