To whoever said "I don't know if it's possible to eject at that rate of descent", I refer you to the rather embarassing accident at Mountain Home AFB in September 2003. This involved an F-16 from the Thunderbirds doing a similar manoeuvre but not getting away with it and creating $21 million worth of wreckage. The pilot committed his egress micro-seconds before impact and got away with it. I know he wasn't using Martin Baker furniture removal equipment, but I imagine the EFA has a similarly performing seat. Good show to the chappy involved
