Thought the same thing.
Half the jumpers were students, the other half teachers. With the plane going straight down, maybe they couldn't get away from it if they had jumped. Plus, they wouldn't have been ready to jump yet (they'd be expecting that part to come later), so probably not attached together (tandem jumps I'd guess, being 50/50 students/teachers) with the doors open, combined with chaos and panic of the plane going down...
Whatever the damage was, could have shook the craft disorienting/destabilising those inside as well.
Just not enough info yet really.
