Unhappy

The ergonomics were slightly better in the Victor. The rotating seat latch allowed the seat to swivel and lock towards the door, the door would have been 'blown' by the handle between the Navs, on pulling the 'whoopie cushion' knob, you were rolled forwards towards the open door. It was a case of just continuing the roll out and into the airflow where the static line would do it's business.

Even so, the stats showed only about a 50/50 chance.
