One Air Force pilot I knew, said in high-speed aerial maneuvering he regularly pulled 8-G's. He had an engine flame-out during a training exercise and had to punch out. The ignition of the rockets that pushed the seat out of the plane caused him quite a lot of back pain for a while afterward as it compressed his spine. It lasted for about three months, but he was okay after that. Though I have not seen him in about twenty years, so I don't know if he suffers from any lasting effects. As far as jumping out of a perfectly good airplane, in the military there is no such thing, only planes built by the lowest bidder. Of course, if it is going to crash, give me a chute I'm jumping.
