Pilot and Seat separation

Wasn't too sure were to place this thread but hopefully there's someone with good ejection seat knowledge here.

I'm just a little confused over the harness system. How does the harness go from attaching the pilot to the aircraft to attaching the pilot to the parachute?

I presume its all one harness and that some sort of detachment system is in place to release the inertial reel straps etc. I can't see it being an explosive charge nor can I imagine it to be a guilitine system?

Any clarity would be appreciated
