I don't know, but I wouldn't want to be the poor airman that had to clean the ejection seat after he landed.

Two possibilities:
1. The pilot misjudged his altitude and got lucky. 2. He did it on purpose, counting on the ground effect to push back on the aircraft sufficiently. |

Did you see the video of the guy who didn't get so lucky? The stick ended up cracking his helmet, face, and ribs. I'll see if I can find the video.

I don't think he meant to do that. That was very close to becoming a crash.
