Co-pilot jumps/falls from plane

I don't buy this. Throwing up and jumping out of an airplane because you broke the landing gear strut? And somebody posted that the doors can't be opened in flight. Somebody should take a long hard look at this one.

 

The NTSB is investigating.

The pilots were flying a skydiving plane—he just had to lower the jump ramp.

Here’s audio of the pilot reporting what happened to ATC.

I appreciate the fact that the aviation community was willing to give this guy the benefit of the doubt, but I think it’s pretty clear at this point that he purposely jumped.

 

Then they can be opened in flight?

 

Thanks, that is what I was told, only the ramp aft.
