The pilot began descending when he thought all jumpers had departed the airplane, but 1 jumper remained. The remaining jumper realized the airplane was descending but was too late to stop his exit. After exiting the airplane he contacted the horizontal stabilizer and broke the femur of his left leg. The pilot experienced momentary flight control issues but regained control of the airplane and landed uneventfully. The jumper became destabilized momentarily then regained control and landed uneventfully. The jumper reported to the FAA that the accident was his fault.
Probable Cause: The failure of the jumper to follow procedures.
