In the Harrier case you mention a video from a USAF aircraft (that formated on the Harrier until it ran out of fuel and descended into the sea) showed that the seat did not leave the aircraft. The pilot was killed following an inadvertant man seat separation that resulted in him being dragged out of the aircraft. His body was found later near Boscombe Down.
