Fighter jets have an ejection system (along with the actual seat) that stabalizes the pilot so that they are ejected upward properly so that limbs don't get ripped off and the actual parachute deploys at the 'right' time. Oxygen is also provided. This is all with in conjuction with appropriate training.
