Default Thought I grabbed the OH $&!^ Handle
"The man, a civilian joyriding with his air force pilot friend, accidentally grabbed the eject lever while trying to brace himself."

Its not uncommon to get ruptured disks and compressed vertebrae from ejecting. You only get a couple before you are permanently grounded

As the plane rolled into another stomach-churning manoeuvre, the passenger was probably wishing that he was somewhere else.

Then, just like that, he was.

So is it the ejection or is it the going through the canopy that’s causing all the problems?
