I suspect he was fully aware of what he was doing. Keep in mind that an
ejection isn't exactly friendly to the human body either. It is a
matter of judgement and if I was in a damaged airplane that was still
flying and reasonably controllable, I'd try to fly it down rather than
punch out and risk injury from that.
