Nothing is 100% guaranteed.
The zero-zero seat is exactly the same whether you’re 5’8”/180 or 6’3”/225. Pull the handle on the ground and you’re getting markedly different rides.
Seats have malfunctioned. There have been inadvertent ejections, partial ejections, etc, etc.
It’s an unforgiving business and sometimes it’s just not your day. Way too early to know what happened here.

Does the zero-zero seat have a control where it won’t deploy if the pilot is not strapped in?
