I didn't realise, BOTH ejector seats were actually activated (one ejected, the other partly did). But, the pilots seat, stopped, part way through its sequence. So, the canopy top, was explosively released (injuring the pilot, slightly), but then it stopped (malfunctioned).
So, it was not that easy for the pilot to return to base. Details in video.
Also, the dingy failed to inflate and all the fighter planes in the fleet (of that type) had to be grounded from flying for a few weeks, until the issues were processed (cleared for flying again). Some time later.
