Most likely because the plane wasn't high enough. Apparently the
plane crashed shortly after takeoff, and therefore had insufficient altitude
for the jumpers to exit safely. They would have had to have several hundred
feet at least, to even consider getting out. If they were only at a couple
hundred feet or so, they didn't have a prayer anyway.
