Math

A 3 bladed main rotor turning at 240 Rrpm is turning at 9 blades/sec so if the seat is sequenced to fire as one blade is approaching the overhead the seat will be clear when the next blade comes around.
3 x 240 / 60 = 12 blades/sec.
So with a time window of .1 second, something will have to give.
