The pilot/owner and passenger were performing aerobatic maneuvers at 5,000 feet. At the completion of a snap roll, the rudder was jammed fully to the left, and the airplane continued to roll. Unable to control the airplane, the pilot directed his passenger to bail out at 3,500 feet. Still unable to control the airplane, the pilot bailed out at 2,000 feet. The pilot and passenger parachuted to the ground without injury, while the airplane descended uncontrolled and impacted the ground. Extensive damage to the rudder precluded determining its operational condition.
Probable Cause: the loss of airplane control as a result of a jammed rudder for undetermined reasons.
