Have a closer look at the plane, and why the pilot is wearing a chute too!
Jump pilots wearing rigs has nothing to do with perceived condition of the aircraft. It is because of the inherent risk of a premature opening parachute wrapping itself around the tailplane and bringing everything down in an untidy mess.
