On the reverse, it would be very difficult for a pilot to get a person out through the door, if they did not want to go. A person would have to actively squirm out the door to get out. This sad story rings true to me.
​​​​​​Precisely! All these people claiming it would be very hard for her to open the door, and jump herself, are then missing the blindingly obvious fact that it would be impossible for the other two to have forced her out against her will!

A few years ago a Norwegian oil worker being flown onshore by helicopter from a platform, with some mental health issues, suddenly pushed out the pop out window next to him and jumped out at 2,500 ft. These events do happen and they are sudden and catch others by surprise.
