I seem to recall a Vulcan accident in which the pilot(s) stayed put to get the rear crew out and were very close to the lower limits of the ejection seat envelope when they ejected. One pilot was saved by landing with his parachute tangled in some high tension power lines? Anglesey in the 60s possibly?
