I don't see how one could remain in a flight suit pocket or survival vest following ejection seat activation.  Many of the URC-4s, especially the bright yellow models, were actually used in life boats and the like.

Guess I should've read a bit further. I agree, Mike - looks like it
would escape pretty easily with its bulk. I have mine in a flight
vest, it's a snug fit and certainly puts strain on the seams.
