Why do you suppose ejection seats are not permitted on civilian airplanes? They would be life-saving, too. I think I read somewhere that the entire ejection seat assembly including supports, rails, explosive hatch, ect weighs about 1,000lb each. Do you want to be a passenger in a non-ejection seat when the PIC has one? We would need 4 ejection seats in a 172. Let's see now, 172 usable weight limit minus 4,000lb is .... Kind of eats into the gross weight limits of small GA aircraft...
