I know two others that bailed - both under 5,000 AGL.
Interestingly, neither of the other two were in midairs.

I know of another who bailed in the pattern with no ill effects. The
incentive was a fire in a motorglider.

That's a really good example of why the parachute should be attached to the
personnel, rather than the aircraft.
