The plot thickens!
Word around the area this aircraft is stored is that the person at the controls is a STUDENT pilot with a solo endorsement. Maybe he realized that solo means by himself and asked said jumper to vacate the aircraft!
Now, as previously stated this R44 is owned by a collection of individuals. Seams another of the "owners" is stepping up stating that he was in fact at the controls during the filmed jump. Falsifying a federal report is a crime, jumping from the helicopter is not in this case!!
Just my 2 cents!
