All the legalities aside, the accident report was chilling and informative at the same time, and an excellent piece of work in my opinion (I write reports for a living).

It makes me wonder how many flight crew have accidentally passed a crotch strap through the ejection seat D ring when strapping in and not noticed it. I have seen flexible "crotch shields" on some aircraft that would have prevented this from happening, I believe the early JAS39 seat required some work in this area. It certainly made me think.

A tragedy all round.
