An ejection seat can be thought of like a life raft on an ocean going boat or ship. You use it when there is no other choice. The time to get in your life raft from your sailboat in the ocean is when you have to climb UP into the raft. IOW as long as the main vessel is afloat you keep fighting to keep her that way. Who was it that said, "No man will go to sea who has wit to get into jail. For being at sea is like being in jail with possibility of being drown. In jail the food is better as is the company."????
