He was really close to the ground when he bailed out. Is there a minimum
altitude to eject? Doesn't look like it. I guess it is better to nurse
some broken bones then die in the wreckage. Thanks.
Most modern seats, are 'zero zero' rated. This means you can eject at zero
feet, and zero mph. However this is degraded when you are descending fast.
What amazes me more, is how low some designs will allow you to eject
inverted!... Some now have an 'any atitude' ejection ability once you are in
excess of a couple of thousand feet. Given the speeds you could be doing,
and the different directions possible, this is really scarey.
