My dad used to know a marine fighter pilot who survived an ejection at mach 1.2. Each leg broke in four places and the soles of feet were pressed flat against his chest hard enough to break many of his ribs. But the seat worked and was certainly responsible for saving his life.

I'm having a hard time imagining how the bottom of his feet were pressed against his chest?!

Were his knees bent the wrong way?

I'm guessing that has to do with his legs being broken in four places
