TC that's very offensive to those concerned, and to me as a experienced parachutist.
Do you know they weren't talking to the pilot? Do you know exactly what was going on?
If the pilot had of brought the AC into the hover, then lost the tail rotor, what chance recovery? At least with a bit of forward speed there was some chance.
The young lad who had the problem was not very experienced, and he f*cked up, no doubt. But what happened next is a credit to the guy on the step and the actions he took.
Other than the canopy not falling out of the container in the first place, this couldn't have ended better, so keep your uninformed opinions to yourself.
