Ok, shouldn’t be like a step or two on that function?
Either way, that’s one hell of a ride!
Terribly uncivilized of him, blasting off like that without saying bye bye...

Galahad: Sir Galahad of Camelot.
Bridgekeeper: What... is your quest?
Galahad: I seek the Grail.
Bridgekeeper: What... is your favourite colour?
Galahad: Blue. No, yel...
[he is also thrown over the edge]
Galahad: auuuuuuuugh.
Years ago, a guy getting an incentive flight in an F-4 pulled the ejection handle while taxiing out to the runway. Fortunately, there was an interlock preventing ejection with the canopy up.
Unfortunately, it ended the incentive flight program...and the next guy in line was a bodybuilder. He beat the snot out of the guy.
Jet?
