I hope too, but some certainly don't. Another time-builder here. Initial thoughts are that the airplane oversped and got damaged in the initial high speed dive:

It is such a recurring type of security risk, I am surprised there is no stronger legislation around that.
Edit: time-building is a safety risk of its own. Not the lower level of experience, though. That can be compensated by stronger adherence to rules and common sense. But time-builders are repetitively coaxed into operations bordering on safety limits and beyond, not only in parachute drops, but sightseeing flights, ferry flights also. They are desperate, easy to pressure and eventually expandable. While a lot of valid criticism can be lashed at them, I also think these young people need more protection from the pressures of unsafe operations.
