I got catapulted trying to back up onto the rearm pad even with my tail-hook up.

That happened to a LOT of people Anax. After I got shot off the tail, I watched from F3 mode and saw at least another 5-6 planes do the same thing.
Was kind of funny in retrospect, but I was quite annoyed at the time. =)
