Re: Lucky he didn't get seriously injured during ejection.

A friend was in the fleet air arm and something broke while flying one day and he ejected at 600kts and only survived because a local fishing boat managed to catch the top of his chute before it went completely under the Med. Quite a lot of him was broken in the incident.
