On 19 April 2007, a JAS 39C Gripen crashed at the Vidsel airfield in northern Sweden. The pilot, Capt. Stefan Kaarle, was involuntarily ejected out of the aircraft in mid-air while approaching the airstrip in order to land. He landed safely by parachute. All C/D Gripens were temporarily grounded.
The post investigation found that just before the surprise ejection, the pilot had taken the aircraft into a tight turn (run and break ?) thus causing the G-suit to activate. The G-suit had somehow got snagged on the ejection seat handle, (I read he went for a pee at some point, probably loosening his G-suit). As the G-suit inflated and deflated during the flight, it had ultimately exerted enough force on the handle to cause him to inadvertently bang out in the circuit .
