If I could get a ride on an F-18 and be assured that while airborne *nobody* would get hurt if I pushed the “eject” button I’d do it...absolutely!

He’s lucky he didn’t die.

I’ve been in the simulator a number of times. It’s unpleasant.

That ejection kick in the butt is pretty nasty. If you’re not lined up with back and neck straight, you could be in for a bit of pain for the rest of your life. Also, the military parachute landing is a bit more rough than the ones that experienced chutists can accomplish with their much more controllable chutes.

Just sayin’. ;-)

Upon ejection activation, the person is subjected to perhaps as much as a 32G surge depending on the aircrafts attitude (inverted?), velocity above recommended deployment (shockwave above speed of sound), slew acceleration from a double zero seat as it maneuvers to sufficient altitude to deploy a chute.

Injury to the spinal vertebra is a possible outcome, so not an amusement park ride to do on a whim or a dare.

How old are you? I used to love amusement park rides, and a few years ago when I took my son on "The Spider" I found my stomach and head were no longer built for it, and I am no where near 64 years old.
