If you bang out in a surface wind of 35 knots or more you can expect some major injuries. Try running flat-out into a wall. Then imagine the impact at twice that speed. I'd stay with the jet for as long as possible and look for a flat field, leaving the ejection seat stuff until the limit (10% of the rate of descent) approaches.
