A 64-year-old man accidentally ejected himself from a fighter jet at 2,500 feet

Winning the lulz recently:

"A surprise company outing to an air base caused a 64-year-old French man so much stress that he flung himself from a fighter jet in midair, grabbing the ejector button in a panic and tumbling through the skies above France before landing in a field.
The man had been surprised by employees at his firm, who had organized a joyride in a Dassault Rafale B jet for him as a treat."


Thankfully neither the man nor the pilot were seriously injured.
My guess is friends should have thought this surprise out better.. =)

Saw this story the other day. Poor guy must've been terrified and I'm surprised he survived.

Always assumed that you would have some kind of safety advice before going near an aircraft like that, no matter how rudimentary.

Bet someone's in trouble.

...THAT guy!

Not to be that guy, are they doing this during the CoVid pandemic 136,000 cases in France with 15,000 deaths and they are flying 64-year-old men around in jet fighters LOL

I've illustrated this for you.

It’s so stressful riding in this jet, I think I’ll pull the ejection lever and free fall towards earth because, you know, that’s somehow less stressful..

Yee Haw! Old dude got his money's worth out of that one.

Sure, a few folks get to take a ride in a jet fighter but how many get to try out the ejector seat?

Is that what ' mature ejaculation ' means ...?
