Before you give someone a ride in a fighter jet, probably best to find out what he thinks of flying:

It's a miracle the guy didn't die of a heart attack when he got ejected.

This guy has a story to tell. And it is real, oh man.....

Co-workers may want to get him a cheese platter or something next time.

When the jet was 2,500 feet above ground and the pilot began to climb, the passenger panicked and reached for something to hold onto.
Unfortunately, that something was the ejector seat button -- and the 64-year-old flew from the fighter jet.


I would have thought there may be more of a 2 step process of something.....as I can definitely imagine me reaching for something to hold on to also.

You may be ejecting in a split second moment, so 2 steps may not be a great idea.

Imagine if step 1 failed....you would be going down with the plane.

There is a two step process:

Step one: pull lever
Step two: exit the airplane
