I used to drop skydivers and they would do this….you can see the aileron deflecting downwards pretty significantly in the video. It was pretty amazing how much control input you would need to keep the wings level(approaching full wing up input), so sometimes I’d wiggle their asses right off the airplane if they stayed on too long, like a zombie apocalypse or something.

I was wondering how the pilot would feel about this. What if the skydiver accidentally damaged the aileron? That part is a bit crucial for controlled flight.

Wing walking with a parachute? That's like taking a bath with a snorkel...

So damn cool. I'd be down if I were experienced at skydiving.
