I know it's not funny, but helicopter ejection seats work by (typically explosively!) jettisoning the rotors prior to the launch of the seat.

At Mach 19, however, you would have probably roughly a 1 in 12 not to take one of the rotors right to the dome on the way out. Do you feel lucky, pilot?

They should just shoot ya out the bottom. That way you can get to the ground and back in another chopper faster. ๐Ÿ˜Œ

If you hit the ground fast enough, the crater you make can serve as your grave. That's peak efficiency.

Nah, has a timing circuit just like the ones warplanes used.

I think going from 0 to Mach 19 in that short of a distance would pulverize the human body worse than any possible helicopter crash.
