Yes, that's correct.
When these seats go wrong it is usually a result of a maintenance error or not sticking to procedure. It's a terrible thing to happen, but thankfully it doesn't happen very often when we're talking about these ejection seats at least.
Red Arrows are having a really sh*tty year, not least the families involved with both incidents. Very sad indeed.
