upon the 3rd ejection he is medically retired.

Interesting, I did not know that. Must be quite an experience to punch out even once, let alone three times.

The compression to the spinal system is very sever! Every time you punch out you are an 1 1/2 inches shorter every time. That is a lot of hurt in anybody's book! If you accidently trigger the ejection system on the ground and not strapped in just looking over the seat, it WILL kill you right there on the spot, not just laying there for a little bit waiting to go, but fight there on the spot the moment the rocket ignits off! It is quite an E-ticket ride.
