Holy Crap! It looks like some of those were borderline jump refusals, especially the ones where they make contact with the platform with their 4th point of contact.

Is "Up 6 inches out 36 inches" no longer the instructed method for exiting a C-130?

I seem to remember being taught to make a 90 degree turn and jump up and out.

Some of those guys are lucky they weren't killed or seriously injured.
