I read on a post (from another website) that you have to be 140 pounds or heavier for an ejection seat. Is that true?

Just as a note, I had a female SNA dropped from the program due to injuries sustained from an ejection. Matt, you probably remember or heard about this one: SNA and an IP at night, SNA in the back of the T45 ingested a duck in the pattern at the 135 (350' AGL). Good dual ejection except the SNA was 115lbs and received a back and neck injury that NPQ'd her from the program. My point is that you do sign a waiver but accidents due happen and you may be injured. Just food for thought. Frumby
