The report I read said that the command eject function did not work but didn't mention if it had been deactivated. Also, the flight surgeon had awarded the passenger a maximum limit of +3G, but this was not communicated to the pilot. The abrupt pull up of 4G on take off, plus the sudden push over into negative G, spooked the passenger into thinking something had gone wrong.
