They probably have zero/zero seats like we do.....the rocket under his ass saved him....
Zero/Zero (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-zero_ejector_seat)
That happened a few years ago at a european airshow. It was a Russian Mig 29. The pilot was doing a powered stall where he stops the plane vertically under thrust. He sucked a bird into the intake and stalled the engine. He managed to point the plane away from most of the specators before ejecting. Everyone was pretty lucky to come out of it without injury.
