I would just nearly bet my entire life savings and two cans of beer that your friends experience never happened. First of all, as a retired Loadmasters that spent the majority of my career as an airdropper, it doesn't even begin to pass the smell test. Second, that just isn't the way things work when airdropping and certainly not the way it works when you suddenly find yourself on the ground in a combat zone.. Third and most importantly, if something even remotely close to that had happened to any loadmaster at any time in our history, it would be at the forefront of Loadmaster lore. We would have all been talking about that for years and that story would have been told and retold so many times that every single loadmaster in history would say "Remeber that guy that rode the platform (or CDS container) to the ground? He was my instructor at Little Rock." I don't doubt for a second that you were told what you have said here, but isn't even remotely true.
To answer the original question, yes a couple of Loadmasters have exited the airplane unintentionally. A few have done it on purpose.
