  because of the stresses of ejection, the human body usually cannot withstand more then 2 or 3 ejections. After which ur spine would have taken so much damage u wont be able to walk right.

  And the ejection seat would cost more than just the canopy itself.

  Cos he was stuck into the pilot position for more than five hours before he was extracted out of his seat. On top of that, he had to be baked by the sun in the seat some more.. How to smile?
