Looks to me as though the pilot probably didn't make it either. Ejecting at that acute an angle at ground level usually does not end up good at all. That seat is designed to travel about 250 feet, but travel UPWARDS. But wait! There's more! There's a handful of shotgun-shell sized charges positioned at belt anchor points and a couple more to inflate bladders that essentially blow the pilot away from the chair. Then the chute opens by the use of other explosive charges but at anything less than 200-250 feet the pilot may as well have no chute at all.
