I wonder how many technicians were killed by accident by the ejection seats versus how many pilots' lives were saved. If there are more accidents than ejection saves, I wonder if it's calculated such that pilots are more willing to take risks if they think they'll be helped out by the seats.

10 seconds to start the ejection? Ah, come on, that would just eject the dead body of the pilot from the plane wreck. You should have known better.
