1. There are no eject buttons or levers in those planes.
2. That is a fire fighting plane, and he's swooping a mountain side.
They regularly do low altitude passes at lower speeds. One of the most dangerous jobs there is. If you screw up (which they do from time to time) you are as good as dead. You are landing alot of the times in big trees at 200 mph, no ejection or means to get out, plus at such a low altitude it wouldn't do you any good anyway. You can't easily open a parachute from only 400 feet.

Well, not really that smart, but I live in a valley surrounded by mountains. We get fires here every so often, and the air force base I live and work by lets the fire fighting planes refuel, and land there. So when there is a mountain fire, I see one of those planes either taking off or landing about every 10 minutes or less.
