An eject system would have to boot the pilots out sideways, wouldn’t it?

It is reported to have a blade jettison system associated with the ejection system.
An associate spoke with a Russian pilot who had flown another of their dual rotor aircraft. He reported that settling with power was very difficult to recover from.

No, the blades jettison a split second before the egress rockets pull them upwards. Very nifty idea, but not sure what the use envelope is.

There are explosive squibs that release the blades before the seat ejection occurs.
