Looking at the graphic, Monsieur Ejecto was extremely lucky the aircraft was nose up and gaining altitude when he decided to grab hold of the bang switch.

The results for him could have been a lot worse.

He wasn’t tightly strapped in. Nor was his helmet on tight enough. The flight surgeon specified no negative G.

The G was around -0.50 when he pulled. That why reached for something to hold on to. He was off the seat when it banged and soon lost his helmet.

I hope the back of this 60+ year old is okay.
