Where Were there any test flying incidents during which the pilots managed to escape the plane?

I am only asking about flight testing civilian jets, nonot military ones. I know that all test pilots have to be equipped with a parachute, so I wonder was there any incident where the test pilots and test engineers had to leave the plane during the flight, and managed to reach the earth? Alive or dead.
