Yes, we was the other student I shared an instructor with.
He'd probably regret banging out now as it usually leaves survivors with
spinal damage.
Earlier in training we all went on a Martin-Baker test rig with only a

of straps, sitting position, lumbar pad etc (time you wouldn't have in a
real emergency), it was very painful, but no lasting damage.
