Man accidentally ejects himself from plane
Nov 03 2009 07:18
It probably is best not to fiddle with switches or controls when riding in the back seat of an air force plane.
A man who failed to obey that principle found himself hurtling out of the cockpit, smashing through the Perspex canopy and into space after grabbing the black- and yellow-striped handle between his legs. He had inadvertently pulled the eject lever and found himself blasted 100m into the sky on his rocket-powered seat.
The South African air force has confirmed the incident that took place last Wednesday, when the passenger took off for a flight with an experienced pilot from South Africa's Silver Falcons air display team. Investigators are assuming that the passenger tried to steady himself while the pilot was putting the Pilatus PC-7 Mk II through its paces by grabbing the eject lever.
"Much of the information has yet to be tested, but it is confirmed that a civilian passenger unintentionally ejected from a Silver Falcons Pilatus PC-7 Mk II Astra during a general flying sortie out of Langebaanweg air force base this week," a South African air force spokesperson said. "The passenger was recovered [by helicopter] unharmed, and returned to Langebaanweg. The aircraft landed safely."
The spokesperson said the flight had been cleared and all procedures adhered to "prior to the passenger boarding the aircraft", making it unlikely charges would follow.
A retired SAAF instructor pilot said the passenger was extremely lucky to have survived the ejection with barely a scratch.
"We train for this and if you don't get it right, and are not in the correct ejection posture, you can sustain severe spinal cord injuries or even worse."
He discounted the possibility that the seat fired of its own accord, as too many safety features were built into the system.
"All it takes is for the firing handle [the rubbery black- and yellow-striped loop] to be pulled up about 2,5cm and you're on your way out."
CONTINUES BELOW
He said the ejection would have been dramatic. "You get one almighty kick under the backside and then you're gone. The seat separates from the pilot automatically and the chute opens," he said. "This is in case the pilot is incapacitated during the ejection."
Passengers would have been briefed on the ejection sequence and warned that the "loop" between his legs was not to be touched unless the pilot called "Eject, eject, eject" during the flight. Such a briefing is done routinely, even when two qualified pilots are involved in the flight. It is likely the rear cockpit was extensively damaged by the firing of the cartridges and rockets during the ejection.
The Silver Falcons are the SAAF's aerobatic team that perform precision formation and aerobatics displays at airshows around the country. The five pilots are all serving instructors at Central Flying School, Langebaanweg.
As one observer said: "What a trip. That guy took off in an Astra, came down in a parachute, and landed back at base in a helicopter. Not bad for a for a single flip."

smashing through the Perspex canopy and into space after grabbing the black
into space.. i thought: "oh shit, they were high enough he floated out into the cosmos!?"
that would have been insane....
That's not entirely accurate.
It's showing Gandalf escorting the Hobbits on their journey back home, which didn't happen.
The four hobbits went back on their own,
and then Gandalf showed up later on to come claim Frodo for the voyage west.
Plus, that whole chart is shopped. I see pixels.
And it needs spoiler tags!
FOR REALZ!
I know.

Simple my friend. Allow me to elaborate.
You come in for a nice dinner, my waiter comes to your table. You say I'll have 3 "Chateau Petrus" and wink at him. He will give you an approving nod. Upon finishing your meal you will be escorted to the back room where 3 lovely ladies apply their vaginas to your penis. This process allows us to dodge prostitution charges.
Ask about our $500 breath mints.
For twelve fucking dollars, they had better have brought out about 3 gallons of fucking water.
Also, can you imagine earning the tip on a $47K check?
Fuuuuuuuh!
Fuuuuuuuh!
That was Roman Abramovich's bill for 4 people, by the way.
Upon closer inspection, I see that they already included a 20% gratuity.

Ahhh, that's right. I do believe I've heard of such things. This might have been pointed out in a post quite some time ago, but I had forgotten. Thank you for the clarification. I was about to google the name of the establishment, but I might wait until I get home to do so.
In other news, I doubt there is any vagina that is worth $5000 for a one time deal. She'd better be famous.

you're thinking of nyla, which ceased operations back in 2003.
Actually it looks like $10000 was charged for 2 MAGNUMS of Cristal... Not 2 bottles, but 2 MAGNUMS... Geez thats a lot of Champagne right there.
$47k to R.A. is like $100 to most people.
