FULL SCRIPT:
As the pilot pulls the ejection handle, the explosive charge fires beneath his seat, punching the entire seat downwards through the belly of the plane. And as the pilot free falls, a small drogue shoot deploys to slow him down, and the seat separates to allow him to open the main parachute. You see, Loheed pointed the seat downward to avoid the F104's massive tail fin slicing the pilot in half on the way out. But if pilots needed ejection below 500 ft, the drove had no time to catch air. And that's how this version of the seat drove 21 American pilots straight into the dirt at full ballistic velocity.
