I have wondered if Bill Parks has the highest number of actual emergency ejections with 4?
In the early years it was a self limiting process - the rocket seats did progress back damage till the individual lost their seat qualification.

There are other factors - I did a tour with a USMC pilot who switched to become a controller after ejecting 3 times*. Back wasn't gone, but his poster said no there Squadron commander wanted someone with his luck....
