So the seat doesn't land on the pilot's head when he hits da ground, silly!
EDIT: Actually, having thought about it for a few seconds, if the pilot has a parachute and the seat doesn't, the seat will fall to the ground first.

But actually, it is to keep the moving mass as one, so the seat doesn't go through the pilot's ass after ejection, I think?
Originally posted by mikelomNo good if its in your spy mobile though.. looks a bit obvious. You would need the seat belt to reamin attached to the column of the car as a normal seatbelt would be. Otherwise would be enemies would spot it a mile off.

Originally posted by PacketmanDon't you think the "I have an ejector seat" bumper sticker would be a dead giveaway?
