I'm pretty sure I've never seen this step mentioned in any emergency checklist.

This is a step beyond the loafers that were causing such a stir a few years back.

Mmm, safety? Can you imagine the aeroplane had he fallen?

Yes I can. And they would both have been candidates for the Darwin Awards.

It was a Cub, he was in front - no problem - still in balance...

My vision was a fall with him being left behind by the Cub until the rope tightened. Assuming it didn't break and of course dependent on length I have him swaying quite significantly and uncontrollably somewhere aft of the tail.

Don't know whether it would be more terrifying for him, or the passenger.

In a J3, the passenger is in front.
This was a well-organised stunt.

When the rope goes slack - flare.....
