00:00a story about a 64 year old french guy that accidentally ejected himself from a fighter jet
00:14at 2,500 feet what is this thing for hey don't touch that man what are these levers for hey
00:19don't don't don't play with stuff i'm telling you i think it's a seat belt
00:23the 64 year old guy had been surprised by employees at his firm they'd organized a joy ride in a jet
00:32for him as a treat oh no but apparently they didn't know the guy as well as they thought
00:37i hate these jets i'm scared i'm ready to look at the skies just me and it once the man arrived at
00:45the air base in northeastern france and realized what his co-workers had arranged he began to feel
00:49extremely stressed i don't like it the unnamed man had never expressed any desire to fly in a
00:56fighter jet had no previous aviation experience why did they do this that's a horrible gift
01:02thanks to a watch he was wearing which could measure his heart rate they noticed his heart
01:09was in full tachycardia before the flight i do not like it i think i'm dying but he didn't want to be
01:16a pussy so he went through with the ride god they reached a speed of about 870 miles an hour
01:22when the jet was 2500 feet above ground and the pilot began to climb the passenger panicked that's it
01:29and reached for something to hold on to unfortunately that something was the ejector seat button
01:35and the 64 year old flew out of the fire
01:38so he's going how fast is he going
01:43870
01:44uh oh 2 000 feet off the ground
01:47to make matters worse he had not securely attached his helmet
01:50oh no
01:51of course he didn't he didn't even want to fly
01:55i don't know how to strap this eye

02:18the pilot was not ejected and managed to land the plane safely despite suffering from minor facial injuries
02:25there he goes
02:26he just hit the ejection
02:28an investigation just concluded
02:31they just concluded the error was caused by an involuntary reflex
02:36prompted by stress
02:38and the jet's sudden move
02:39it shouldn't be
02:40it shouldn't be so easy
02:42involuntary reflex

03:02and thought it was like holding on to something at the bus
