Might be a stupid question but wouldn’t it smash your shoulders up as it has to suck you out the side instead on straight out of the top?
LurkyMcLurker
There's a Russian one that shoots you sideways.

Kamov KA-50 series from Russia developed this system
Ginkgopsida
Possibly somebody else on the ground though who gets hit by the blades
Peachos
I'd be a whole lot more worried w/where the fuselage is going to actually hit because that'll be a fiery inferno worse than a just blades.
Ionlylurkbecausemymemegameissoweak
Well the rest of the helicopter is also coming down, so the blades are probably the least of your problems.
Fair enough
DonkeyGoat
I don't think I knew you could eject from a helicopter
ItsAlwaysDaDamnedGuvment
Definitely think I knew it but know I didn't
Twinklepot
I definitely didn't think I knew that either
Seleyon
There's only a few where you can and I think it's mostly Russian ones.

Well yeah, who else is going to attach the rotors with explosive bolts

Anyone know why they fire the blades in two goes rather than all at once?
marthafarquar
If they fired them all at once it might hit the tail so the first two fire forward and right and the other two forward and left.
The patent suggests it's often better to fire them fore/aft rather than sideways.

Chances are it's just natural delay, given it doesn't have to be *exactly* simultaneously here, just very quick and close enough.
Just googled it - turns out it's intentional https://patents.google.com/patent/US3926388
Neato. Was actually my second thought as well,though it's a bit hard to tell from a clip if it's intentional or just 'it works'.
Idontevenwanttosignupjustletmelurk
Best guess, to avoid the tail and to keep it balanced.
