Which type of injury is least likely in an ejection scenario?

In an ejection scenario, the dynamics and physics involved, such as the rapid acceleration and deceleration, position of the pilot, and the mechanisms of the ejection seat, make certain types of injuries less likely than others. Internal organ damage is least likely in this context for several reasons.

Firstly, during an ejection, the pilot's body is subjected to a high G-force, which is more likely to lead to injuries associated with the extremities or impact-related injuries rather than internal organ injuries. Ejection seats are designed to launch the pilot away from the aircraft swiftly, often resulting in external injuries related to the impact with air and the subsequent parachute deployment rather than damage to internal organs.

Additionally, while there might be some risk of internal injuries due to forces during maneuvering or prior to the ejection, the body can be better protected by the harness and the position of the seat, minimizing the risk of organ damage compared to injuries like facial burns or fractures, which are common due to external forces or impacts upon ejection and landing.

In contrast, facial burns can occur from hot gases during ejection, broken legs may result from the impact upon the ground or from being thrown against the cockpit or seat, and jaw fractures can
