.....this video made wonder: Is it common practice to eject from planes which
have ejection seats instead of ditching?

I was surprised they chose to eject and lose the plane instead of make an
off-airport landing in a clearing. Ejecting has risks of its own. It's a
violent event which can result in injury (which evidently happened).

Perhaps jets like that are considered too dangerous to ditch due to their
high landing speeds. Then again, a Hawk lands about the same speed as a
Citation.

Humm...
