If you're reaching to steady yourself during a ride in a stunt plane, probably best you don't grab the ejector seat lever...
A civilian passenger did just that during an air display and was blasted 100 metres into the sky by the rocket-powered emergency chair.
The incident happened in South Africa moments after the man took off for a pleasure flight with an experienced pilot from South Africa's Silver Falcons air display team. After he unexpectedly shot into the air, the shocked bloke steadied out and slowly drifted down to earth by parachute.
