Indeed!
Takes me back to 1975 when some sharp-eyed groundcrew lad spotted that the seat-to-backpack cable on several Folland bang seats wasn't connected correctly. A fleet check revealed the same fault on other seats; had the pilot needed to use the seat, proper parachute deployment would have been very unlikely.
Regrettably, the cause was identified as sabotage.
Thank heavens for the excellence of the RAF's groundcrew and their unquestionable diligence.
