Pulled the seat handle just as Hawk was departing flight at very low level. Acceleration from aircraft obviously very rapid and I seem to recal both initial cartridge firing followed by rocket pack. Chute opened just about immediately, saw feet pointing at horizon, swung once in chute over aircraft wreckage on the ground and hit ground like sack of spuds 50ft away, no time to think about anything during ejection sequence and automatics worked as advertised. Ran over to student, both of us ok so cracked open the survival packs and waited for Helo pick up. Great seat, cheers once again MB.
Only injuries were slightly twisted knee due to landing and minor facial cuts due to canopy Miniature Detonatig Cord "splatter" on parts of face not covered by visor or o2 mask.
