It is unfortunate that none of the ruling mullahs were given demonstration flights by the pilot. They’d be heads above the rest of the mullahs.

1. Do not push that button.

2. Especially do not push that button if you are in the hangar.

3. If you push that button - Allah Fubar.

The ejector seat did not “malfunction.”
