The ejection seat is a device used in military aircraft to allow the pilot to escape in an emergency. But what really happens when you pull that handle between your legs or above your head? In this video, we explain step by step what happens in the few, intense seconds leading up to ejection from the aircraft: from the initial micro-explosions to the opening of the parachute, through high physical speed, engineering, and strength, to understand how one of the most impressive, painful, and violent technologies ever conceived works.
