So, if the instructor was certified, they would've survived the fall without a working parachute?


They wouldn't, but it would rule out questions of whether or not the instructor's failure to recognize that the parachute wouldn't work was because he was inadequately trained. There are a lot of things that can go wrong in skydiving, and a major focus of training is learning to recognize and correct those potential problems to ensure the jump can be completed successfully.

It's quite possible that proper training wouldn't have prevented this either way, but if the company can't prove that he was properly trained, they can't blame that for this incident and therefore can't avoid liability.
