First I can assure you that one of the other jumpers in the back had comms with the pilot; for whatever reason the pilot chose to keep some forward airspeed. I did not have a chance to talk to the pilot afterwards.

In this event I cannot see how having doors on the aircraft would help, the pilot had cleared us to jump and I had checked the spot.
