Why would a pilot jump?

I don’t understand why the co-pilot would jump out of a moving plane before touching down…did he really think it was safer than landing gear up? Was he really that dumb? These must be more to this story. If anybody has more info, can you please shed some light.

The Casa 212 has a fixed gear so the report about them only “opening one side” is incorrect. Unless they dropped the ramp in flight and the guy tried to push himself into the slipstream to look at the gear, I’m not sure how you’d fall out?

Have you read of the battles with CAMI/FAA with pilots who have a diagnosis of mental illness?
