ejections

Forceful removals from somewhere

Ejections are acts of forcibly removing or expelling someone or something.

In sports, an ejection is when an official removes a player or coach from a game for misconduct: The manager's ejection came after arguing a called third strike.

Ejections also occur mechanically—a pilot's ejection from a damaged aircraft, or an ejection of molten rock from a volcano.
