I was facing out the door ready for him to yell 'go' when the pilot suddenly banked. I fell a bit backward before he pushed me out. While I was under canopy I suddenly saw Frank as well. I found out after landing that when I bumped him that surplus belly reserve he used popped open and yanked him out the door! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
