So the seat doesn't land on the pilot's head when he hits da ground, silly!
EDIT: Actually, having thought about it for a few seconds, if the pilot has a parachute and the seat doesn't, the seat will fall to the ground first.

But actually, it is to keep the moving mass as one, so the seat doesn't go through the pilot's ass after ejection, I think?
