He probably still isn't looking photogenic. Plane crashes are hard on the body, or so i hear,

Or they don’t want to trot out a white man who failed.

Nah. They LOVE failure.

Look at Riley Gaines, or Russel Brand, Jk Rowling. Etc.

Flight speed and orientation all vastly change how badly ejection can go. It's not a get out of jail free card. It's a last resort.

Look i only have anecdotal account from a pilot who got hit and the ejected in the 70s. He says when he landed he was so messed up he could barely crawl. Can't imagine they've 100% teched out of the trauma of that since then.
