Failed Ejections

Hi All !

I lived through a failed ejection on a Mig19 in a spin.One of the two canopy thrusters failed to fire,so the canopy was de-railed and off-centered, but still attached,so the seat could not fire!
I wonder if there is any record of similar occurances. Though my incident was about 36 years ago, would love to hear from anyone with such good luck!

Cheers,
