Jumpers want to get out as quickly as possible, because a split second
delay getting out the door means a long way to catch up in free fall.
Hence there's usually a lot of crowding around the aft door on jump
run, and if you're not careful it's easy to put the C of G past the
aft limit.  There have been some pretty spectacular accidents (with
multiple fatalities) from this over the years.

On the other hand, this one doesn't sound like your typical stall.
As with any other aviation accident, you just have to find the
patience to wait until the investigators have done their job.
