Some Meteors, eg T7, did not have ejection seats and just to spice up life a bit more, the T7 in particular had horrendous, leg trembling rudder forces when flying asymmetric. Simulated engine failure after take-off and single engine overshoots were, shall we say, a physically demanding event that left little margin for error.

Simulated asymmetric flying killed a lot of people in aircraft such as Meteor and Canberra. Well in excess of fatalities due to actual engine failures.
