Jumping is a lot more fun without a broken hip...

The plane fell at the same time as they released. This was not the jumper's fault, you cannot exit like that and have your ass hit the tail without the pilot doing something radical. This was a very close call looking at the video. With more jumpers still inside it was probably a stall.

It probably scraped the load outta that guys pants it was so close!
-
holy moly that lucky guy missed the tail by 5 centimeters. glad it ended well.
-
It looks like it is the first group exiting, and there is at least one more guy aft of the door opening inside the plane. No wonder it stalled, keep those inside the plane toward the front, that is basic knowledge for jumpers.

You know it's a bad day when you exit and look down to see the aeroplane you jumped from below you....what a cock!
-
Talk about a near hit! I'd say near miss... but that means a hit. Blue suit camera flyer in the door should frame that shot and thank his blue sky stars. Man, very very glad everyone is ok. THAT was too close for comfort.

lol the guy in the red is not moving hes just like WTF MAN!
-
look howclose the divers were to hitting the horizontal stabilizers.
-
Scary, really scary. I cannot imagine the feeling of looking back 1 and a half seconds after exiting to see that you are 50 feet higher than the plane, let alone seeing the video of the exit with your body missing the horizontal stabilizer by about two inches. It would have made me think twice, that's for sure.

OMG, that was fucking close... Good to see you alive,guys!

I'll decline to say exactly who the pilot was... suffice to say (once again) that he was sacked for allowing the aircraft to STALL. Yes, IT WAS a stall. Very few posters seem to have understood... IT WAS A STALL

Not carrying enough power...flap setting looked ok..oh well
The early model kingair is a good jumpship..when you fly it properly.

Exactly. That's why the pilot lost his job!
