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

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