I'm not a pilot so I have no clue what is or isn't understandable. But based upon what other pilots are saying, it appears to not be a reasonable reaction in this case.

Beyond that, if you're flying an airplane, I think you have some responsibility to not jump out at the first sign of trouble.

I agree, and in the video it looks like he abandons ship very quickly. But there could be a section of video edited out.

EDIT: It doesn’t help his moral case that he’s carrying a selfie stick though, and is filming himself as his plane is potentially landing on someone.

As the saying goes, "The captain goes down with the ship."
