Doesn't that mean that, in the event she ever has to eject, she'll either die or be turned into a Flowerpot Person by the seat?

PS: For what it's worth, which isn't much, I'm 6'4" and having sat briefly in the back of a Tornado I'm fairly confident I'd exit with kneecaps, although I have no idea if they'd let me and frankly no desire to risk it.
