(1) He wasn't wearing a full helmet or any kind of clothing that would have allowed him to survive in hard vacuum, and (2) Where did they expect him to eject *to*? Not only wasn't he wearing a space suit, he wasn't wearing anything that would allow him to maneuver, so he would have just shot out of the cockpit and kept going forever. And that's the best case scenario. If the rebels were successful, he'd be vaporized when the Death Star blew anyway because in the five minutes he had before Luke took the shot, he wouldn't have been able to float far enough away to achieve minimum safe distance. I think Porkins made the best choice available to him. Also, I don't know why this bit of humor has escaped me all these years: FLIGHT CONTROL: Enemy fighters coming your way. LUKE: I don't see any fighters on my scope. RED LEADER: Pick up your visual scanning. Translation from military jargon speak: "Look out the damn window."
