It is rather worrying that
it was Irishmen who came up with the first functioning helicopter (Louis
Brennan) and also the first ejector seat.
It was in 1945 when Sir
James Martin tested out his device on a dummy (a wise choice if you ask me). A
year later, a man called Bernard Lynch became the first live tester of the ejector
seat invention.
Later on it was adopted by
the Royal Air force as a standard safety device.
