What? Slow speed runway excursion in a fighter aircraft? Shocking......

Iīve seen this a couple of times at Bardufoss, twice in with aircraft that did it after it jettisoned the chute, or the chute collapsed. (F-16 and Jaguar)

Runway lenght might be irrelevant if the aircraft braked and reduced speed to itīs normal taxi speed on a part of RWY with OK friction, then only to find that the last 1000ft or so to be slippery at the same time as you start to turn to exit the runway. Que fishtailing etc.
