title: [Injuries caused by in-flight ejection].
abstract: The localization, causes and severity of 214 "ejection-associated" injuries occurred in 160 pilots are discussed. Spine, upper and lower extremities are affected most frequently. The severe injures prevail (57.8%). The main causes of severe injuries are the impact + Gz accelerations of ejection and the impact + Gz accelerations of landing.
