What if the rotor destruct system fired when you weren't ejecting tho?
I can't find the specific incident easily by Googling, but I read a long time ago about an incident, possibly with F-16s, a training exercise where suddenly a sidewinder fired uncommanded, and took out another plane.
You would think that would surely be human error, but investigation showed that apparently something just shorted out.
