Jumpers hang on the aluminium struts…and due to the absence of the seats they pack them full…and create a CG problem.

I count 30 accidents on the type on ASN, for around 240 built. I didn’t have time to read all the accident reports, but it doesn’t appear that there is any alarm regarding the type.
