B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber Crash Video
The current ACES II seats are zero/zero (will get a good chute with zero
forward velocity and zero altitude). It is generally felt that the parachute landing and wrong body position cause the compression fractures, not the ejection itself. The seat senses the actual altitude and attitude, and this determines when it separates, although manual separation is also an option. You're not supposed to land on your feet, regardless.
