A 64-year-old man accidentally ejected himself from a fighter jet during a flight from an airbase in France. ADVERTISEMENTThe man, a manager at a French defense manufacturing group, had had no experience riding a fighter jet. “Discovering the feeling of the negative load factor, the insufficiently strapped and totally surprised passenger held onto the ejector handle and activated it unintentionally,” the incident report said. In addition, investigators discovered that the doctor had recommended that the 64-year-old be not subjected to a negative load factor. After pulling the ejector handle, the elderly man was ejected out of the jet while it was in mid-flight.
