This isn't without precedent. In the mid 90's a pilot was giving a "Fam" or familiarization flight to a VIP in the F-14D when during an inverted maneuver the VIP used the eject handle to stabilize himself. This resulted in him ejecting out the back and leaving the pilot inverted at 320 knots in...

Well that is sad to hear, but just shows what a feat flying is and how amazing what the Wrights, Chanute, Curtis and the others did.
