[Hi Kim

I haven't heard about that story before. Normally the pilot is thrown out of the seat before the big chute unfolds totally. If you eject at high altitudes/airspeeds you stay in the seat with a brakechute until reaching a certain altitude/airspeed. Then the brakechute is released, the big chute unfolded and the pilot is kicked out of the seat.

My considerations according the story, was related to the "passed out becaused of internal bleedings due to straps being too loose"-part.
With the "tighten-up system" You mentions, this wouldnt be able. Therefore is the story just another story, OR the system wasnt developed to the first delivered F-16's ??
