My younger brother, an AF jet mechanic some decades ago, told me of an
accidental/unintentional ejection *inside a hanger* -- pretty horrific
mangling of the mechanic who triggered it.


Kinda related: I had a cousin die while trying to safe an ejection seat.
Apparently, he was on the ladder leaning over the edge of the cockpit to
engage the safety. Either as he moved to step down or while he was working
in the cockpit (nobody is quite sure on that point), he somehow engaged the
canopy.

It was a closed casket funeral.
