The first person ejected needed an ambulance ride to the hospital.
I predict a lot of lawsuits in their future.

Long ago in my teen years (over 50 years) when my Explorer Scout post members and I were returning from a canoe trip, we got to spend the night at an AF base and received a tour that included being allowed to sit in the cockpits of one or more planes. The ejection seat handle was pointed out to us as the thing NOT TO EVEN TOUCH. We also noticed the hangar’s roof was painted red, possibly to conceal the blood stains from those WHO HAD TOUCHED THE HANDLE. We concluded any such former person was probably buried by burying the putty knives and Brillo pads that were used to clean up his remains.
