Dennis, Dennis. Things aren't as bad as you make them seem. With care, skydiving out of a Coupe can be perfectly safe. There are only a couple of problems, and if you're willing to take the time and be careful enough, you can do it without any trouble. In this case in particular, all of the problems will solve themselves. As you know, the major problem is the instability of the Coupe when the diver crawles out onto the wing, and the the resulting wiplash when he bales off. As there are two sky divers here, as long as they exit the cockpit together, giving equal drag to each side of the plane, and they then slide off into freefall at the same time, the Coupe should be able to continue on with no apparent effect to it's airworthiness.
