That sounds like something Scotty would do.  Scotty dumped at
around 1,000 feet a couple times at a local DZ before the
owners threatened to ground him.  Humming it to save someone is
a noble thing to do, but there comes a point where bravery
crosses the line and becomes stupidity.
 
I don't know if I have the skills to chase an unconscious
jumper, but I don't think I'd go below 1,500 if I did.
