From lighting strikes, to Mentos explosions, the bottom line is that everything is cooler in slow motion. In this case OObject has collected 10 ejection seat tests that are enjoyable to watch at any speed—but in slo-mo its like watching a nerdy ballet of planes, fire and rockets. [OObject]

I kinda' wish I'd had the chance to ride one. I did get to train on a simulator that was, I think, about 1/4 the normal jolt.

Oh crap, I just actually watched the videos. The second one's last aircraft is an S3 Viking getting a "cold cat shot" (weak shot). That's what I flew in in the Navy (aircrewman). I can't tell what ship or what squadron it is.

@Mith: That sounds interesting, hoping for a top ten list on Fleshbot.

Not all of those are tests, obviously. Notice, that Russian ejection seats send the pilots away from the ground even if the plane is falling upside down. Impressive.
