Wasn't it the force of the ejection seat that pulled it out of it's spin too?
- A lot of times they will eventually pull themselves out of the spin without any interaction from the pilot. The question is if that will happen before the pilot is unconscious or dead from the G forces which is why they still eject when it happens.
- If that's true, that's wild. Those seats are insane, it's amazing people can survive them.
  
  Can't vouch for it but I've read you only get 3 ejections before you're medically discharged because it compresses your spine pretty badly
- I can think of about 5 very cheap ways this is a solved problem at least at close range. Maybe 1000km.
  
  I think if the flat spin was a cheap solved problem than one of the most expensive projects ever undertaken probably wouldn't have it.
Lmao, I'd love more info on this incident
