Don't they have altitude sensors that are supposed to deploy your parachute for you in situations like this?

Although they say he likely died when he hit his head, you never know... It might have saved his life.

Most likely he hit one of the rear elevators on the way out. One of the basic things they teach you is to jump clear of the rear wings of the plane your jumping from.
