Unfortunately height is not always available!

The guy who gets thrown out of the forward personnel door is a good friend of mine. Spent a fair bit of time in plaster! The crewie, who jumps from the cargo door to pull the guys out, has a broken spine!

The cause was attributed to 'settling with power' over a hot concrete surface with light winds and strong thermals.

Not a nice place to be.

Doesn't help the debate but shows the unintended consequences!
