Beech 18 WS exit ?

[dthames 0]

I might have a chance to jump from a Beech 18. Would sitting on the floor and rolling out be the best exit option? Any experience out there?

I am flying an R-bird.

Two jumps from a Beech 18. I'd imagine Ed has quite a bit more experience.
T'is a tight door for a rollout, but if the pilot provides a proper cut, you're entirely closed and head-up towards the door, all will be well.
If it's a cargo door, it seems it would be quite easy to roll (never jumped a cargo door model).

DSE, you lost me with "head-up towards the door" unless you mean, "watch the plane" as you fall away.

If watching the plane means keeping eyes level so that the head is up, that works whichever way you say it.
