"Hey, have you heard about how the Illuminati are grinding up bigfoot droppings and spraying them in chemtrails?"
Not a conversation you want to join? Just push the button in your pocket and be safely ejected several yards into the air. Your parachute opens and you float gently to the ground several
yards away, unscathed.
Like so

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. |

You're not married, are you ? |
