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

I'm no expert in these things
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!
