This as well -- fairly damning evidence of failures in design and/or manufacturing. Fortunate that the extemporaneous round of belated testing happened over friendly territory!
- TheFlash 5y agoThe post-incident report found a design flaw in the box that transmits the ejection signal from the back seat to the front seat, allowing it to get damaged. That and one loose screw.
- KennyBlanken 5y agoNo, a connector was not fully screwed in, which is why the seat didn't eject.
- smcl 5y agoEither way it sounds like it was good to discover this in a situation that didn't require ejection.
