What do parachutes have to do with it? Easy to do that without

I thought they were required for any aerobatics... (it looked like
a loop to me, quality wasn't that good)... The point though, is...
would you take your family out and do aerobatics with them and not
have them wear parachutes? I wouldn't. I had to wear one just when
I was a jump pilot and we never exceeded 30 in pitch. Maybe I'm
just too conservative.

I still think the pilot is an idiot.

All he did was a pushover to to zero/negative G.

If flying a Cessna to haul jumpers wearing the parachute is a
requirement of the STC for flight with the door open.
