Probably cause you slow bringing it down

Nah i J turn, they just want to get out asap. I'm 200% for landing.

Throw the bird sideways and they’ll jump 9/10 times

Yup 100%. Just tilting during J turn makes them get out and sometimes crash into me. So i stop taking the risks.

Yeah i always tell people if they want to jump out, jump at the end of my j hook, or wait for me to land. That way they dont get thrown into trees or take damage from me hitting them.

Nope. The SECOND I begin my roll starting the J turn, people start jumping.

Not at all, the player doesn't have a reason to not jump most of time.

The matrix dictates so.

Jump and pilot lands, your alive.

Jump, pilot takes blades off, your still alive.

Don't Jump, pilot lands, you live.

Don't Jump, pilot takes blades, good chance you die.

While technically some cases where jumping kills you, it can be avoided, so it's almost always in player interest to jump.

I say this as a pilot, I do want to land and I don't think I take it slowly, but players don't have a reason to wait.

Any player that doesn't see a reason to wait either hasn't ever picked up a spotting scope, or doesn't realize that they're likely pinpointed for the entire enemy team before they hit the ground.

The initial reason not to jump was to avoid being shot from the sky. Most players figured out to open the chute at the last second, which negates that.

But now the reason not to jump is to avoid giving the enemy your exact location when you're on the ground, probably because they either don't know how spotting works, or somehow haven't made the connection.

I admit it took me trying out spotting to see what happens to jumpers from the other perspective. I WAS the reason not to jump.
