Amazing footage. I’m sure the video distorts perspective but it looks like they were very lucky the plane didn’t hit a skydiver after spinning.

I know very little about aviation but this seems like a pretty foolish and avoidable incident. I would have thought there would be a procedure for how many people can leave or hang from the back of the plane as it would very obviously affect how it flies. I can’t imagine that sort of manoeuvre is good for the airframe?
