“The 64-year-old was not correctly instructed, to say the least, in passenger etiquette, and to make a long story short, he self-ejected midflight.”
Co-workers gifted a retiring 64-year-old a back-seat ride in a Rafale he never asked for. The briefing skipped the part where the striped loop between his legs fires the ejection seat. He grabbed it to steady himself. He survived, and the official report blames the briefing, which is the polite way of saying nobody asked the guy.
