Ejection bubble

Eejection bubbles, were what the Fourth Doctor said, "a space parachute".

When a Mutt cruiser was passing by Karn, the Sisterhood of Karn caused the cruiser to crash on the surface. One of the occupants, Kriz, managed to escape in an ejection bubble, but was soon killed by Condo for his head. The ejection bubble was later found by Sarah Jane Smith. (TV: The Brain of Morbius)
