Top Gun Maverick

[Snattlerake]

Hi speed ejection, in real life, generally carries the risk of devastating physical injuries, including some truly horrific kinds (think a human wishbone). However, the specific risk vaires by the kind of ejection seat, speed, altitude, etc. I used to fly F-15Es, many years ago, and supersonic ejection was a big time "no-no" if it could be avoided.

I don't know you. I have never met you.
