This is the most dangerous situation for the pilots , it's hard when you are close to ground ,most of the time you try to stabilize instead of eject so this pilot must be one of the calmest person and his decision making skill is top notch.
Definitely could have regained control when it went back upright on its gear; I imagine there was gas leaking and he was worried about a subsequent fire.
@@CGoody564when he was descending you can see an abrupt pitch forward before loss of control. That doesn’t look like an input from the pilot but rather a malfunction of some kind. The best thing in that situation would be to eject then risk being trapped in the aircraft

It’s a hydraulic system. It’s supposed to do that lol. Your spine literally gets compressed by 2-3 inches and you’re grounded for life after an ejection due to health complications. This is a serious emergency system, not a game of battlefield lol

@@Greg042869Not quite Many people say this because when you eject and Land with the Seat Many pilots gehts Spine Injuries and stuff like that but they get not Like Fired from the airforce or something
@@JMCar-Motion You might not be "fired from the airforce", but unless it's a time of war, you might not get another $100M plane to fly. I don't know personally, though. Just what I heard.
The pilot no long was able to control the throttle due to some reason, the pilot attempts to power down and is struggling to keep it from flipping over. The moment he aircraft goes level, the pilot immediately ejects. To the people wondering why he chose to eject and 'risk more injuries' is because the plane was trying to flip over. If it did, he could become crushed or trapped underneath it; and if it caught fire - he would be dead. Good job on the pilot for following training. Things happen - that is why you rely on your training.
I heard this was due to a malfunction of the jets systems. They would not allow an autopilot feature to automatically land the jet when its a jet as expensive, lol.
I think the delay was more about trying to prevent any further damages or injuries. Although the thought of having to explain how he damaged a fighter jet was definitely going through his mind 😂
My question is why didn't he eject when he was still in the air That's what you're supposed to do And what did he check when he was already on the ground It makes no sense if he ejected in the air he would have had a softer landing

No, he worked for a company called Webber Air Craft mfg. This was when it was just a concept, they were able to design and develope the first prototype. It was in the 60's. Webber as well as Lockheed are long gone thanks to stupid California

From my understanding it was a test flight and a glitch in the software caused it to overcompensate and nose down, believe it or not this crash wasn't that bad and if I recall correctly the aircraft was repaired later
@@jawnlaughlin5he experienced about 15 Gs more or less, 9 Gs can cause a G-lock witch is we’re all the blood follows from your head to your feet and around 11-12 Gs can be fatal if held for too long. Hopes this clears up some things
Most likely they threw it away, I saw that it was unnecessary to propel itself out of the jet and it is worth millions of dollars but you are right, the slowest crash of a jet I have ever seen in my life.
Right, that was my thoughts on the whole thing, not the eject. No aviation experience at all but the way he stayed with it and only ejected when he had the plane wheels down was brilliant.
No hate at all, he did a great job. But was this incident caused by pilot error to begin with? Or was it mechanical and he was just quick enough to react?
I just want to know why this 50M$ Aircraft didnt have an Automated Landing/Flight system activated By Default to prevent this Nose Dive., because we have Hater Dans about Tesla failures, if they are Valid...! But Kids and Drivers can Be Wild, i cant wait..
@@_RayOfLight_ You can't eject or get the canopy open easily if the F-35 is upside down, so it's SOP if it appears to begin to tip over and isn't reducing power fast enough.
Good on the pilot for trying to get down as safe as possible. They could bailed earlier but didn’t. I can only imagine how much worse it could have been if they ejected while still up high hovering.
It's a life or death situation and he was doing tests on it to check and see if it would pass a safety inspection. You can see the emergency hatch open after the aircraft begins to rotate with the nose digging. My guess is that it takes a second for it to deploy but it didnt even out until a second before that happened. Either way, an aircraft can be damaged in a landing like this one. He was in the military and knows that it is a better chance of survival to get as far away from the aircraft as possible. He knows his life is more important.
No props for him. He 100% fcked up. He forgot to throttle down the rear thruster and the intake pulled in its own jet wash. That's a $135million "oops "
Umm I think he was waiting for it to be upright so he could launch up not launch at a angle because that would’ve been terrible he could’ve died . But sure buddy I’m sure he thought about civilians and Fences💀 at this time 😂😂💀u gotta be joking or ur either 13 years old
Ah, and the "experts" are giving conflicting statements. He only suffered minor injuries, he broke both legs, it was too low to break his legs. The seat is hydraulically ejected, the seat is ejected with rockets. Etc., etc., etc. 😂
@@bodyrumuae2914ikr? 🙄 F35s are equipped with zero-zero ejection systems. I'd have liked to see the pilot get some more altitude with it, but he got a full chute, so while he may have broken a leg or two he lived to tell the tale. Also, the crash looked like either pilot error or a control system failure, with the F35 either is possible. This is just an eyeball from an aviation buff. I'll have to look for the story to get some more solid information. Edit: on second look, definitely pilot error. Came down too fast and bounced. Ouch.
This guy crash landed and stayed with it until he was able to get oriented at the right angle to give him the best chance of surviving the ejection. Dude literally has ice water in his veins.
For context: the pilot didn't ejected in case of the F-35 exploded, in was in case it flipped, the computers that handle the VTOL had a malfunction and were out of control, if the plane flipped, he would be trapped inside the cabin
@@Master.Debater Thanks for the meaningless input. These things eject automatically, and it's going out of control because of a malfunction. What does hindsight have to do with anything?
This is from Wikipedia: “On 15 December 2022, an F-35B crashed during a failed vertical landing at Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth in Texas. The pilot ejected on the ground and was not seriously injured. The aircraft was undergoing production test flying by a government pilot and had not yet been delivered by the manufacturer to the US military.” Here is a reference to an article about this crash: O'Connor, Kate (15 December 2022).

I don’t think people realize what this man - or woman - just went through. An ejection in this situation is basically the equivalent of jumping off of a three story building and landing on your feet. It beats being vaporized in a ball of burning jet fuel, but it’s by no means a desirable option. Thank you for your service, whoever you are.
Eh, it's still softer than *JUST* jumping off a building, but I get what you meant. That probably still hurt, and because they were swinging so close to the ground, they might've broken an ankle or whatever hit the ground first.
Yes its true this is sort of last resort, think if a pilot has to do this twice then he/she is taken off duty as their skeleton cant or shouldnt take any more abuse.
@@thatdudeinorange5269Some air forces the 1st time to my knowledge. The automatic ban on health grounds is considered by some to be an easy way of them saying that if you loose our jet, you have to go. Maybe that why he waited to hit the ground before the ejection. Either to actually prove the jet was uncontrollable or just many thoughts spinning around his head one of them being his carer. Horrible situation.

Or evacuated the aircraft. If the engines weren't shutting down or you thought the fire risk was eminent an ejection could be justified. He probably had back pain for a week after.
@@justinteehee4358and not getting to fly plane with ejection seats again. It gives so much stress to body that in most cases you don't return to cockpit of such planes after you use it once. Just because using it for 2nd time can be too much for body to habdle.
@@krisavi I'm sure you're right I know a lot of pilots retire after ejection but never imagined it was over half. Be interesting if a ejection seat could have multiple power levels ejection seats with three smaller solid rockets. The default mode would light all three and provide enough power to get away from the aircraft even in "zero zero" circumstances or an example such as after a missile strike where seconds count. There would be a selector that it turned would only light the central ejection motor for a less punishing ejection. Would be useful for engine out situations or loss of control at higher altitudes if fire or explosion is not likely. I realized that such a system would not benefit a pilot in the event this video shows. Such a system could be less reliable due added complexity and cost and likely weigh more.
an ejection is hard when flying because of wind speed At ground level and with no horizontal speed he probably just suffered from bruises and maybe broken legs from the ground impact (which seemed violent)
@@telia8344 It's hard because the rockets launching the pilot out are putting 12-14Gs on their spine, this causes spinal injuries in like half of the pilots that eject.
I don't think ppl know how dangerous it is for the pilot to eject. They go under massive amounts of g forces, and there is a possibility that they can be paralyzed from the pressure endured on their spine.

An ejection that low is bound to cause injuries. Hope they're ok.
No.
@@Xendruis Yes.
That low he was on the ground
still better than ejection at 1500km/h
Low?…..it already hit the ground and spun before he got out

I didn’t realize you could eject while literally on the ground and the parachute would still properly deploy. That’s some grade A engineering right there.
Well yeah that's physics, a parachute will catch the air.

It will damage your body. He probably needs some rehab afterwards. His spine got compressed by a lot.

That's if you are in high altitude. That can cause spine problems cause of gravity force . But in his case he is near to ground.
Especially from such a low height too.

Thats the slowest nonlethal crash ive ever seen
it was like two more bumps away from bursting into a ball of flames.
You don't think those guys haven't got broken legs they landed pretty fast to the ground after Dippin out the jet
Until you be there
Some are worse that nose dive when they land is a death called I think they called it
Most likely they threw it away, I saw that it was unnecessary to propel itself out of the jet and it is worth millions of dollars but you are right, the slowest crash of a jet I have ever seen in my life.
As a retired pilot I have to say this is really impressive on his part.
Im glad to have your professional evaluation ❤
Right, that was my thoughts on the whole thing, not the eject. No aviation experience at all but the way he stayed with it and only ejected when he had the plane wheels down was brilliant.
No hate at all, he did a great job. But was this incident caused by pilot error to begin with? Or was it mechanical and he was just quick enough to react?
I just want to know why this 50M$ Aircraft didnt have an Automated Landing/Flight system activated By Default to prevent this Nose Dive., because we have Hater Dans about Tesla failures, if they are Valid...!
But Kids and Drivers can Be Wild, i cant wait..

Good on the pilot for trying to get down as safe as possible. They could bailed earlier but didn’t. I can only imagine how much worse it could have been if they ejected while still up high hovering.

He waited for the plane to be leveled to eject. Nicely done
It's a life or death situation and he was doing tests on it to check and see if it would pass a safety inspection. You can see the emergency hatch open after the aircraft begins to rotate with the nose digging. My guess is that it takes a second for it to deploy but it didnt even out until a second before that happened. Either way, an aircraft can be damaged in a landing like this one. He was in the military and knows that it is a better chance of survival to get as far away from the aircraft as possible. He knows his life is more important.

@@bodyrumuae2914ikr? 🙄 F35s are equipped with zero-zero ejection systems. I'd have liked to see the pilot get some more altitude with it, but he got a full chute, so while he may have broken a leg or two he lived to tell the tale.
Also, the crash looked like either pilot error or a control system failure, with the F35 either is possible. This is just an eyeball from an aviation buff. I'll have to look for the story to get some more solid information.

I don’t think people realize what this man - or woman - just went through. An ejection in this situation is basically the equivalent of jumping off of a three story building and landing on your feet. It beats being vaporized in a ball of burning jet fuel, but it’s by no means a desirable option. Thank you for your service, whoever you are.
Eh, it's still softer than *JUST* jumping off a building, but I get what you meant. That probably still hurt, and because they were swinging so close to the ground, they might've broken an ankle or whatever hit the ground first.

@@krisavi I'm sure you're right I know a lot of pilots retire after ejection but never imagined it was over half. Be interesting if a ejection seat could have multiple power levels ejection seats with three smaller solid rockets. The default mode would light all three and provide enough power to get away from the aircraft even in "zero zero" circumstances or an example such as after a missile strike where seconds count. There would be a selector that it turned would only light the central ejection motor for a less punishing ejection. Would be useful for engine out situations or loss of control at higher altitudes if fire or explosion is not likely. I realized that such a system would not benefit a pilot in the event this video shows. Such a system could be less reliable due added complexity and cost and likely weigh more.
