A recognised risk?
So how many such inadvertent ejections have there been?
Risk is the possibility of harm because of a hazard, which can, and was mitigated against. Martin Baker made it clear in their response to the coroner's Regulation 28 report on 17th April 2014 that misrouted strapping is "well known risk". The risk was effectively managed by a number of factors, the main one being shrouds over seat firing handles.
The MoD has a reactive, rather than a proactive approach to risk assessment, it is only regarded as a risk if an incident has occurred.
