A gift, a flight in a fighter, was presented to a 64-year-old resident of France by his colleagues. Just a few minutes after take-off, a man accidentally catapulted.

A top manager of one of the French companies received a gift from his colleagues — a flight on a Dassault Rafale B fighter. But because of the not tightened belts, everything went wrong. During a sharp entry, a man “took off” from his seat and, in order to straighten his belts, accidentally pulled the catapult lever, writes The Guardian.

It is noted that the process of ejection was successful. The man landed on the field near the runway and escaped with a slight startle. The only thing is the pulse of the failed fighter pilot. He jumped to 145 beats per minute.

Earlier, the OXO wrote about another curious case. Briton Kevin Webber ran 230 km right in the backyard of his house. So he took part in absentia in the Marathon des Sables super marathon, which is held annually in the Sahara desert and was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
