Did I read the report right? During ground operations, meaning the T6 was on the ground and someone pulled the wrong lever while he was leaning over it or something?
That’s brutal

Sounds like it self-activated. IP's are pretty knowledgeable to not accidentally pull a lever like that

Not sure why they would've said malfunction if that is the case. That's user error and not on behalf of the pilot.

I thought that modern ejection systems would move the pilot far enough away for the chute to open. Was this model one of those and it just malfunctioned?
