      He kinda saved a jet, but made a mistake by ejecting, since he probably broke his legs from the impact, since a parashoot didnt have enough headroom to decrease his vertical velocity. That's why it's not recommended to eject on a low altitude. He could have end up dead

      Isn't it some emergency setting that when the pilot is ejected the engines are cut off.

    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.

      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.

      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.

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.

      Especially considering he did it at ground level, so it hurt going up and coming down.

      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.

      No, he didn't. He should've ejected when the plane is facing right. The wind literally carried him back to the plane.

      If it was due to a failure of the aircraft he won't be terminated. But he very well may never fly again, ejecting can cause serious injury.
