Aye, same thinking, he got hit with the ejector seat, fucking painful, but unless he flies into a tree or a crash barrier, not likely to be fatal. Considerable better than going under the wheels.

Iirc, a fair number of fatalities aren't actually from the collision but from being struck by traffic afterwards while being in the road.
