B-52 Ejector seat won’t launch you from your cubicle
What kind of chair do you sit in? I’ve got a pretty decent chair that I’ve had for around five years. It’s nothing fancy, just a black high-back computer chair. If you like to sit in something that differs from the norm, and happen to be an aviation enthusiast, this B-52 Stratofortress Ejector Seat Chair should be right up your alley.
This rather eccentric-looking chair is modeled quite accurately to the ejector seats found in B-52 bombers. I’m going to guess that when you pull on the straps, the seat will still remain firmly planted on the ground.
I’m going to venture a guess that only the most dedicated of aviation enthusiasts will want to pick one of these up. Besides the obvious fact that it’s going to draw a lot of strange looks, it doesn’t appear to have any real armrests. Those yellow and black straps really don’t look too comfortable if you ask me. No word on pricing or availability.

Is there a version with five wheels? I am in the military and we are not allowed to have chairs with only four wheels for safety reasons. Cool chair.

Well, it really is a cool thing to have and I believe it will boost the creativity of those who sit on it. Also, imagine playing flight simulator with it. By the way, is it height-adjustable?

With respect, and as the site that originally posted about this product (and was accordingly credited by Born Rich, amongst many others) I feel I should point out that this chair is not, as you suggest, a mere model that is “modeled quite accurately” but is, in fact, 100% accurate being that its the real McCoy taken from retired/decommissioned B-52s.
