Jack, while I certainly agree it's a bad idea and shouldn't be attempted, I think from the service bulletin it's pretty clear that if the jumper would have just let go (or even climbed back in) and got the hell off the walkway, the airplane would have recovered and flown on just fine, especially at a high altitude. It appears in the case they mentioned the guy panicked and froze, refusing to let go and riding all the way down. In this worst case, the airplane didn't drop into some uncontrolled spin etc. If the guy had let go, the airplane would have been just fine. There may have been successful jumps that weren't reported, but, bad idea and not a good use for this airplane.
