Ejecting looks only slightly more appealing than going down with the plane.

I think no matter how much training you’ve had, the reality of either ejecting that close to the ground or certain death would just be too much.

Phil

apparently it’s very common to pass out upon ejecting. as well as having your spinal cord compressed. not cool.

Jjj

usually goes back to normal after a month or two

I think I would rather have my spinal cord compressed versus my WHOLE BODY.

lot of people died in this post

LOL

Yes. In the 3rd picture especially. :’( Bummer chive. This is why I don’t go to air shows. It’s thrilling to watch them soar though…has to be a huge adrenaline rush!

I've read that the fatality rate for ejecting is 25%.
You can strike part of the plane, be injured by the force of ejecting or by the blast of high speed air, various mechanical failures in the ejection equipment, parachute failure or landing in an inopportune place. Getting tangled up in the chute and drowning when landing in the water, especially if injured, is a significant hazard.
Still better than the almost 100% fatality rate of staying in the plane in an ejection situation.

Satan wants and make people have accidents so he can take them to hell with himself. People who die in accidents go to hell, regardless if its in a jet with a blasphemous pentagram, car, bus passenger plane, tank, etc. The majority of people who die traveling in these machines are not saved, thats why the vast multitudes die and are in hell. Very few of them, who die are born-again Christians, thats why there would not be a multitude of them going to heaven. People who kill others in war, and get killed all go to hell because they are committing a sin against God. Satan spreads his wings and starts laughing, like he is when women became mentally retarded enough to develop some ridiculous "movement". And their laughable "sexual" irritation to manipulate you with a lie law, theres another one where Satan spreads his wings and is laughing, because he's pulled the wool over millions of peoples eyes.

The human race was never meant to fly as birds fly in the sky, we are not birds, and the there are those who think they are fish, so because they cannot breath underwater they had to invent a aqua-lung, to enable them for the moment to live in the water, which they never showed Aqua Man eating and drinking underwater,now why would that be that they would not want to show that? Humans are not supposed to be like fish either.

The government and the womens movement did somthing that was really lowdown when they mistook compliments for imaginary irritation, with the overused word being harassment, which they surely know how to put the ass in harassment, the same way people who live in a sect know how to put the unity into community. It's derogatory to call a compliment about your bosom and rearend "sexual harassment" harassment being a word thats used way too much.
