Early F-104 Starfighter. They changed it in all versions after either the "A" or prototype, if I recall correctly, because a test pilot had to eject during takeoff and slammed into the ground. Not good.
Cause of the big ole tail i assume?  That would be fun...  Taking a horizontal stabilizer to the face...
Well, better than taking ground to the face.
Not by much.  At least then you get to take your entire body with you as opposed to just 2/3 of it lol.

I remember reading about a plane that had an ejector seat that blew out the bottom panels of the plane and let the pilot out that way.  Can't remember which plane it was though.
SR-71 does this.. it goes like mach 3 and ejecting up is like a big NO! lol

Actually, after some googling, it appears the SR-71 does have an upward ejection seat.  Mach 3 speeds make ejecting period a big no lol.

Ejection seat in a helicopter.
Brilliant!
It could work, if they ejected to the side or front and then up... I mean, either way your screwed, mine as well take your chances with the blades
there are ejection systems for helicopters (i know of none that have been implemented) they are pretty complex and reduce the usefulness of the chopper because the blades are jettison able and cannot support as much weight as fixed blades

Who the hells idea was it anyway that blocking out your eyes magically prevents your identity from being revealed? When I'm looking for a person, I sure as heck am not looking what their eyes look like.
