STABALISING SYSTEMS Ejection seats used to use weights to stabalise themselves (shown in the diagram on the right). But this was considered too risky as the pilot would have to be lifted from the chair when the parachute was deployed, as it was too heavy to take with it. Which may have cause further damage to compression fractures, as well as
A tiny parachute releases out of the top, prior to the main parachute releasing. This stabalises the chair and prevents it from spinning out of control.
