Ejection seats are pretty amazing when you consider all current modern ones used in fighter's etc, are "zero-zero capable". Meaning no altitude,
other then the area your sitting on as in in the tarmac, which may be sea level or very much "higher". And no forward speed at all. Second, modern
ejection seats are designed to position you to fire "up" from the point of view of the ground, even if you are close to a 60degree angle. I don't know
the details of being upside down and how high one must be for you to be re-positioned to fire "up". You can be sitting still on the tarmac and say
you catch fire, eject with no trouble at all. Critical issues also include getting the chute to deploy, but I believe at least the ones I have heard
about are also "explosive rocket enhanced". No doubt there is the auto-save feature in some aircraft that gets ones butt out of there and react faster
then a human can. If I was investigating this, I would start with a lot of questions as to available technology and why anyone did not make it. But
also I believe most likely the pilot will control punching out, as stated by others to avoid slamming into some dudes condo...
