This would be true only in a vacuum....
But the plane and the pilot move in the air, and the CX of both is completelly different.
So as soon the pilot gets out of the plane, the air friction will slow him down considerably.... it's the same as if you drive a car 100mph, open a window and put your hand out of the window, you will feel the friction forces pulling your hand toward the back of your car.
Then, with a WWII warplane, you can add to this effect that the propeller push the air toward the tailplane, and you will understand "why people get injured by the tailplane of planes"
