Narrative:

The aircraft arrived and ramp did not have a tail stand available and was going to start downloading [the] front of aircraft and telling [the] agent [it was] okay to attach jetbridge without the tail stand being installed. I spoke to ramp lead and he said it was okay to attach once again. I was concerned to do this since the procedures to offload passengers [in] X rows at time leaves the tail heavy still as ramp downloads the front. As we were attaching the bridge the flight attendant cracked door and started to open [it]; but bridge was not attached yet [and] was about 3 feet away.
