Thanks for the compliment Bluntm8!!

The Typhoon (martin Baker Mk 16A) also has the leg restaint cockpit mounted as described above and you do not have to wear leg loops.
Some early american seats actually had metal clamps close around your ankles if you ejected and I wince at the thought of what if they didnt release when your harness did....SNAP!! OUCH!!!

I hope that it is not advertising to remind peeps about my site?
