Hopefully the same amount of each!
I have been in a helicopter a bit, and next Febuary I have been promised a ride in a chinook. Also get to do some air cadet training jumping out of chinooks carrying rifles (me, not the chinook) in a years time or so. It is all good.
EDIT:
Yeah, some military copters do have ejector seats, they blast the bolts off. The pilots I have spoken to still say that they wouldn't trust them.
