There is a service bulletin that came out after an accident, I have a copy of it somewhere. It seems a fellow was going to jump out of the Ercoupe and the pilot slowed the plane for his exit, when he climbed onto the right wing the aircraft went into a right turn which the pilot could not control well the fellow on the wing seeing the aircraft was descending in a right turn now was afraid to jump and stayed on the wing well the pilot finally landed the aircraft and came to a sudden stop at this time the jumper left the plane in a forward motion. True Story.
