Man accidentally ejects himself from plane
WTF?
The man, a civilian joyriding with his air force pilot friend, accidentally grabbed the eject lever while trying to brace himself.
He added: "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.
He would have experienced 20G of acceleration while leaving the plane.
The retired instructor added: "All it takes is for the firing handle to be pulled up about 2.5cm and you're on your way out.
"You get one almighty kick under the backside and then you're gone.
