I like how all the guys bail out as quickly as possible. It's not really a tough choice, parachute + reserve > stalling aircraft. :lol:

I'm no expert in these things :worried:

Could the guy who bridged himself between the fuse and the wheel, on an already slow flying aeroplane, have induced enough drag to cause the stall??? :think:

It does not look like a stall at all to me . If it is, it is deliberately induced and held, because you will see a good degree of persistent up elevator being held on whilst the parachutists leave the aircraft

Well I'd have stayed in the thing until it was under control - I wouldn't have wanted it to be diving into me or my parachute!
