Ultimate Thrill Ride

One of my most favorite things at WDW is  The Tower of Terror
 
But this tops even that:

A civilian joyriding with his Air Force pilot friend, accidentally grabbed the eject lever while trying to brace himself.
He was instantly fired through the aircraft's perspex canopy and blasted 320 ft (100m) into the sky by the rocket-powered chair.
He then floated down to the ground with a parachute that opened automatically.

Holy Crow!!  What a ride!

And imagine the look on the pilot's face as the 'backseat' blasted off.
