Yeah, I'm not sure what you guys are talking about, he pulled himself up and out of a very cramped cockpit with incredible speed and spun around and dove off the wing all within about three seconds. I'm not sure what else could be done. Bailing out of a damaged fighter was a relatively slow and ungraceful undertaking, not to mention a dangerous one, it was many a pilot's last act. The video I saw perfectly mimics nearly every bailout account I've ever read about, I'm not sure what anyone else was watching.
Edit: I suppose the point is the very nice and fluid animation, the rest I think is just armchair piloting (including me)
