Pig Escape Capsule

A question for any Pig drivers (sensible answers please).
Booger... if you're there?
If a Pig crew decide they need to depart the aircraft in flight... where's the punch out handle... same place as on a standard ejection seat i.e. right next to the family jewels?
And what's the separation mechanism with control linkages etc?
Is there some sort of explosive bolt arrangement?
I assume there would be some kind of seal around push rods etc (it's not fly by wire is it) to preserve pressurisation/water tightness (the capsule can float - am I right).
