Martin Bakers used an ejection gun to push the seat out of the plane before an Under Seat Rocket Motor Pack took over propulsion. This allowed for a much softer ejection on the pilot. The new seats on US planes are no longer made by Martin Baker and have a different system in place for ejection. They allow a pilot to eject safely with 0 knots airspeed and 0 altitude. Needless to say the ejection is much more violent and pilots are now only allowed three ejections before being permanently grounded due to the physical effects. I have fun (useless) facts too. Actually most of it isn't very interesting at all.
