A day at the beach..One lucky guy!!!
 

Just shows how trained these guys are.

Check This Out

damn, looks like he landed right where it went down. Is he responsible for bringing it home?

Holy shit. Looks like he landed in the water right on top of his plane!

Yup, looks like he saves himself then killed himself by landing on his own plane.
I"m sure he is fine, but still pretty crazy!

Nice tax dollars up in smoke :(

OMG! that's crazy!

where is it from ? looks like that one jet which was able to "hoover"...think the marines used it a lot, but they had many problems similar to this one..
ejecting from a military jet is very rough, many get serisouly hurt as they are accelerated at a very high rate (g force), it is very common the are unconscious when they land.

man a lucky guy

It's a Harrier Jump Jet.

That's one lucky mofo!:thumbsup

Probably this guy.

thats pretty insane, imagine if it would have crashed on ppl

oh shit - that hurts

Did he survive? Right at the end, it looks like the water goes all red

what the hell was he doing at the beach like that I wonder? kinda dangerous to be around all those people.. amazing he didn't kill someone.

I used to work on F-15's and was always in the cockpit. We were trained from day 1 to make sure that the safety pins were in the handles for the ejector seat. Supposedly if you eject while on the ground you don't go high enough for the chute to slow your descent and you would most likely be killed. Looks like that guy barely was high enough for his chute to open, and landing in water certainly helped.

I thought the same thing..I think his focus was keeping it on the water and away from the beach. And any lower, and no water..He wouldn't have made it.

Pretty cool job you had. :thumbsup

I think that is his floatation gear that opened up, the red.

wonder if there were any passengers?

Uhh about 10 million, pocket change.

Crazy vid

Pilot got away with just a suspected broken ankle.

The dude was staring at the chicks on the beach and he fucked up

I didn't know Great Britan had a military.


Oh, wait... I forgot about those tough folks that got captured and "tortured" last month.

Can that be considered a military?

watched a show on amarc on the history channel the other day and they said that is incorrect:2 cents:

Thats a creative and fun way to get to the beach:thumbsup who needs a car

the hard part is getting unhooked from your parachute so you don't drowned

Depends on what type of ejection seats I guess. We watched videos where they ejected dummies from the ground and they didn't land too well. I wasn't too keen on testing it myself.

You under cut that by a few million.
