On 27 August 2015, the U.S. Services restricted F-35 pilots weighing less than 136 pounds from operating the aircraft due to an increased risk of injury that could occur in a low speed ejection.
Why not just add weights to the seat to bring the total mass up to the minimum? Works a treat in horse racing.
