Two Russian Pilots Die after Ejecting into Shelter

Reply in thread

It's a known defect. The elevators drop under the weight of gravity when parked up. This pushes the stick back where it can hook the ejection handle. If the elevators are raised this will push the stick forward, and so, if hooked, will activate the seats. The "fix" is they are supposed to use bungy cords to hold the elevators up when parked. What could possibly go wrong?
