I have a friend who crashed a banner towing plane. He balled it up after the line got wrapped around the rudder during pick up, and he was lucky to get out.
He was a captain at my former employer on Lears and Falcons and now he's at NetJets.
I completely agree with daytona. You'll need to explain the circumstances, but in the end how did this make you a better instructor? How about a better crew member?

Boredwlife is also right on the money - most interviewers were also instructors and understand the fragile nature of instructing.

It won't stop your career. Hang in there!
