Is this strap-arrangement new?
I remember to have heard a story about the Royal Norvegian AF's first loss of a F-16: The flight was in the early days and the plane was a "B" with trainee and instructor. For any reason both had to eject in low altitude over the sea but the trainees chute did'nt fold out resulting in multi leaping of the seat, within pilot, across the surface of the sea. In opposite, the instructors chute folded out quite well.
When found and rescued it showed that the trainee was alive, but the instructor in the meantime had passed out because of internal bleeding caused of at set of too loose seat-straps!

Just at story - or?
