I always remember a report on research into high speed ejection prior to the use of leg-restraints - with the quote: " The pilot experienced leg flailing after ejection"

Shows the bravery of the next guy to go.

Having ridden in the ejection seat training rigs where a half charge fires you up a retarding slide about 40-50 ft long the ::BANG:: of the ejection seat charges appeared coincident with the click-click-click of the ratchet stopping the seat sliding back. Exciting times
