Thank goodness he survived, his life is worth more than that aircraft.

Gravity hardly ever causes loss of conciousness. That would be inertia.

I'm surprised that he survived ejecting at over 750 MPH.

The pilot suffered serious injuries during the high-speed ejection,

In all probability, serious injuries mean he won't fly again.

The investigating officer concluded there was substantial evidence that physical fatigue from flying five high-G sorties in three days, an extended layoff from flying and the mental stress associated with his instructor pilot upgrade training were contributing factors to the pilot's loss of consciousness.

Sounds to me like he was pushed to press the envelope. Why?
