When the ejection seat is used in a helicopter, the rotor blades are jettisoned

@stux Never wondered how those worked. Make sense.

@stux I wonder if the seats are pulled out by the parachutes or if they're jettisoned. 🤔 If they're pulled out, that could be intentional: if the blades are still present, the chute lines are ripped up, and you get to ride it down rather than being chopped up.

@stux Ah a quick search (which I probably should have done before 😬) seems to indicate they can be rocket seats. At least helos can autorotate to slow decent so if you're to the ejection point there's not many other options.
