Following the flat spin and ejection sequence, Goose was wearing an MBU-14/P oxygen mask. However, when Maverick reaches him, Goose is face-down in the water. When Maverick pulls him upright, Goose's mask is unhooked from the right side of his helmet. Before an ejection, crews are taught to fasten their oxygen masks securely to not only provide oxygen at high altitudes, but also to prevent it from causing injuries. When Maverick and Goose ejected, they were both wearing their masks properly. As Goose was killed during the ejection, there is no explanation as to why his mask was undone in the water.
