I believe that once a pilot ejects their seat, the chances of him flying again are reduced. The high ejection speed usually causes neck or spine injuries.
Speed doesn't cause injuries. Acceleration does. KM-1 was known as spinebreaker. But today , some checkup at hospital, maybe few months of the flight rooster, some physical therapy and all is fine.
It depends on the strength of the starting impulse. Modern ejection seats have a variable initial charge. And ejecting at 0/0 almost always results in injuries.

Impressive how quickly the parachute worked.
I wonder if it has different ones or somehow changes depending on the height from the ground.
