We have had the same accident happen in Canada too. Had a chap fly a CF-104 too low and bounced off a frozen lake near Cold Lake (I'm sure a few folks on this forum have spent sometime there) However, he did later have to punch out as the gear would not extend. On that note here is an interesting link to a website tracking ejections

Also going back to the Weed.. Best served ice cold, warm it was like drinking a mouthful of fish hooks!
