Where do you hear such pablum anyway?
Martin Baker systems are the best in the world and the JF-17 seat is from the same family of the seat that is in the F-35.

I never heard nor read anything like that but it could be true since you know more than me. But PAC didn't like the air refueling probe and system set by France so we are going back to China for air refueling of JF-17.

WASHINGTON — Concern is mounting on Capitol Hill after recent tests revealed a lightweight F-35 pilot's neck could snap when ejecting at certain speeds.

The fears focus on the Martin-Baker US16E ejection seat. During testing of the new Generation 3 helmet this summer, testers discovered the risk of fatal neck injury when a lighter pilot ejects during slower-speed flights, according to a source with knowledge of the program. Testers discovered the ejection snapped the necks of lighter-weight test dummies, the source said.

Until the problem is fixed, the US military services decided to restrict pilots weighing under 136 pounds from operating the plane, Defense News first reported Oct. 1.

Since the issue emerged, lawmakers have vowed to push for increased oversight of the F-35, with one congresswoman condemning the program for "malpractice." Rep. Jackie Speier, ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee's subcommittee on oversight and investigations, slammed the Pentagon for rushing tests to field the plane prematurely.

"We're seeing these flight restrictions because the F-35's ejector seats weren't tested to the level they would be on a normal aircraft, and the Pentagon rushed to field them prematurely. This is yet another example of the kind of procurement malpractice we should be avoiding," the California Democrat said in an email to Defense News last week...... read full article

Weight restrictions for a 4% pilot community. Ironically, Pakistan's previous fighters have had weight restrictions THROUGHOUT Their service life.

Hi,

I actually met one of the Pakistani fighter pilots in Ogden Utah---next to Hill AFB---a sqdrn Ldr----. Told me he broke his neck vertebrae when he ejected from his F6 the mig 19 variant of pak air force----it used to have a 155 or 150 mm canon shell under the chinese seat till they change the seat to Martin Baker.

He was a short guy---could have easily weighed less than 150 lbs----. So neck fracture issues have been there under different circumstances.
