For those below who don't know the term "Dead stick". ---A dead stick landing, is a type of forced landing when an aircraft loses all of its propulsive power and is forced to land. The "stick" does not refer to the flight controls, --The F16 is a fly by wire aircraft (No wires or rod linkages, only electrical wires.)

And the stick is? The propeller, originally propellers on aircraft were wooden and so sometimes they were known as "sticks". If it stopped spinning, you had a dead stick.

Ejection under a controlled landing like this is nearly 100% survival rate. You might get some minor injuries but it's nearly a 0% chance of death. Landing the aircraft almost seems like an unnecessary risk to the pilot, but if he ever felt like he was in mortal danger, he would have ejected because in the end the pilot is always the one in command in the aircraft and it is his job to ensure he and his crew (i know the f-16 is 1 man but you know) make it home safe.

There is always a risk in ejecting. Even allowing for surviving the ejection, the stresses it places on the pilots body possess a significant chance of permanent injuries that will sideline him from further flying. In short, if possible, it's always better to land the plane.

@Paul Flusk you can actually have a positive rate of climb despite being pitched down 10 degrees my friend. Look at some gliders in strong thermals. And if you don't have an engine, of course you have to pitch down to remain at your optimal gliding speed. You exchange height for speed, but it's still flying. falling would mean gaining speed uncontrollably and without any forward movement.

You're right in that it's confusing. What they're referring to as the 'stick', is the propeller blades. I know this is not a propeller engine, but that's where the term comes from, from the early days of aviation: dead engine = dead stick (propeller is not moving, or dead in other words). Control stick, flight stick, side stick (cause it's on the side in an F16, and not in the middle), hands on throttle and stick (HOTAS) are terms that would be accepted as correct to varying degrees, depending on the aircraft and the setting among other things. So you're not wrong there either.
