Thoroughly unpleasant I would imagine-agreed Fonsini. I seem to recall when ML ejected after the Reds synchro mid air a few years ago, his injuries were partly exacerbated by him 'not being in the correct body position to eject' (or similar)? It was very much a split second decision of course for self preservation.
Having said that, however unpleasant, probably less unpleasant than the alternative.
