At least 10% of ejector seats made are used? Yikes.

For over 65 years, Martin-Baker has been the world leader in the design and manufacture of ejection seats. Our latest designs offer unprecedented life-saving capabilities while providing systems and interfaces to fully integrate the pilot with cockpit and aircraft systems. Over 70,000 ejection seats have been delivered to 93 Air Forces around the world and have saved over 7,450 aircrew lives.

There's a few stories here from pilots who have 'banged out' and owe their lives to Martin-Baker ejection seats:

One is from a French pilot who has had to leave his aircraft in something of a hurry on two occasions.
One of those rare events when a Frenchman has actually thanked the British.

The only thing that could make that symbol more symbolic would be to add some blur. But that would make it less iconic.
