Presumably you are aware that ejector seats
cause severe compression of the spine, and
that having "banged out" a couple of times,
aircrew are normally transferred to duty on
equipment that doesn't have ejector seats ? |
|
| |
Use of an ejector seat by an untrained
person will result in serious, crippling injury,
if not death. |
|
| |
But hey, don't let us stop you from doing a
public demo of this … |

//ejector seats cause severe compression of the
spine// |
|
| |
Easily solved with a downward-firing ejector seat. |

//ejector seats cause severe compression of the spine// |

Beats talking to a Scientologist. |
|
| |
I'd say a horizontal firing (in all directions) ejector
seat is exactly what's called for here. |
|
| |
You don't actually go anywhere, but all of a sudden
there's about a 5m clear zone around
you, and some crispy charcoal bits where the source
of the annoyance used to be. |

An ejector seat for the droning TV or extraneous speaker ? Be a brave speaker to face a full auditorium of people with THE button. |
|
| |
5 percent of the audience hates the speech, and you explosively out the back door and into the dumpster. |
|
| |
This is nothing that Dial-a-Smite can't handle. As a matter of fact, I suspect that whomever is in charge of it has been rather asleep at the wheel as of late, given the current state of the world. |
|
| |
Why is it not possible to create an ejector seat with
1/2 the acceleration to reduce spine compression? I
can see that on fighter jets they may have had to
compromise to reduce the chance of getting hit by
the airplane's tail, but generally that's not a problem
when escaping a conversation. |

Could probably get the same effect with a rocket pack which would stretch and align the spine. |
|
| |
The harness on a rocket pack applies most of the force to the pelvis;
the shoulder straps are just for balance. The vertical forces on the
spine are much lower, though. |
