| OJ Mayo ref incident, ejection - Huntington vs Capital High |
 |
In this exclusive video, Huntington High
senior OJ Mayo (One of the top 5 players in
the nation) is ejected from the game after
two technical Fouls. The first was right
after a dunk, the second...well, no one is
actually sure why at this time. As you can
see, the two referees right beside him don't
seem to see or hear the reason for the
Technical Foul, but it was called anyway.
Afterwards, Mayo approached the ref in
question and, with a "bump" not seen very
well by ANY angle posted YET, the ref went to
the ground.
WAS there reason for a second Technical? Was
there contact with the ref?
YOU be the judge, and spread the word about
this NEW exclusive video from

In(mostly military) aircraft, the ejection
seat is a system designed to rescue the pilot
or other crew in an emergency. In most
designs, the seat is propelled out of the
aircraft by an explosive charge or rocket
motor, carrying the pilot with it. The
concept of an ejectable escape capsule has
also been tried. Once clear of the aircraft,
the ejection seat deploys a parachute, and
descends safely to earth.While a
bungee-assisted escape from an aircraft took
place in 1910, the modern pattern for an
ejection seat was invented in Germany in 1938
and perfected during World War II. Prior to
this, the only means of escape from an
incapacitated aircraft was to jump clear
("bail-out"), and in many cases this was
difficult due to injury, the difficulty of
egress from a confined space, g-forces, the
airflow past the aircraft and other
factors.The first ejection seats were
developed independently during the World War
II by Heinkel and SAAB. Early models were
powered by compressed air and the first
aircraft to be fitted with such a system was
the Heinkel He 280 prototype jet fighter in
1940. One of the He 280 test pilots, Helmut
Schenk, became the first person to escape
from a stricken aircraft with an ejection
seat on January 13, 1942 after his control
surfaces iced up and became inoperable.The
first operational type to provide ejection
seats for the crew was the Heinkel He 219 Uhu
night fighter in 1942.In late 1944, the
Heinkel He 162 featured a new type of
ejection seat, this time fired by an
explosive cartridge. In this system the seat
rode on wheels set between two pipes running
up the back of the cockpit. When lowered into
position, caps at the top of the seat fitted
over the pipes to close them. Cartridges,
basically identical to shotgun shells, were
placed in the bottom of the pipes, facing
upward. When fired the gases would fill the
pipes, "popping" the caps off the end and
thereby forcing the seat to ride up the pipes
on its wheels, and out of the aircraft. By
the end of the war, the Do-335 Pfeil, Me-262
Schwalbe and Me-163 Komet also were fitted
with ejection seat.The purpose of an ejection
seat is pilot survival, not pilot comfort.
Many pilots have suffered career-ending
injuries while using ejection seats,
including crushed vertebrae. The pilot
typically experiences an acceleration of
about 12 to 14 g (117 to 137 m/s²). Western
seats usually impose lighter loads on the
pilots; 1960s-70s era ex-Soviet technology
often goes up to 20-22 g (with SM-1 and KM-1
gunbarrel type ejection seats). Career-ending
injuries are quite common, partly because
eastern military pilots usually continue to
fly into their late 40s or early 50s and end
(retire) their flying career afterward, while
most western jet pilots retire from the
military in their late 30s.Lt. William Belden

K-36 ejector seat manufactured by NPP Zvezda
is considered by many as the world's most
advanced. It was studied at length by the US
Navy and Airforce and IBP Aircraft opened up
a factory in the US to manufacture it for the
F-22 Raptor and the Joint Strike Fighter. The
US Government however selected the Martin
Baker seat from the UK in a political move
for the new US fighters. The amazing
capabilities of the K-36 were convincingly
demonstrated at the Fairford Air Show on 24
July 1993 when the pilots of two MiG 29
fighters successfully ejected after a mid-air
collision.By May 2006, Martin-Baker ejection
seats had saved 7196 lives.The "standard"
ejection system operates in two stages.
First, the entire canopy or hatch above the
aviator is opened or jettisoned, and the seat
and occupant are launched through the
opening. In most earlier aircraft this
required two separate actions by the aviator,
while later egress system designs, such as
the Advanced Concept Ejection Seat model 2
(ACES II) will perform both functions on a
single action.The ACES II ejection seat is
used in most of the United States Air Force's
mainline fighters, including the A-10, F-15,
and F-16. The A-10 uses connected firing
handles that activate both the canopy
jettison systems, followed by the seat
ejection. The F-15 has the same connected
system as the A-10 Seat. Both handles
accomplish the same task, so pulling either
one suffices. The F-16 has only one rubber
handle located between the pilot's knees,
since the cockpit is too narrow for
side-mounted handles. Unlike the F-15 and
A-10, however, the F-16 does NOT have canopy
breaking systems installed. The angle of the
ejection seat inside the aircraft is so
extreme that a pilot's head would strike the
canopy before any installed canopy breakers
would. Also, the canopy is constructed of
highly durable composite material which
cannot be shattered by seat ejection.
