>I was actually gonna put an ejection seat handle in as part of the game... I'm still trying to find a suitable switch/button/whatever for it.
You can use any pushbutton switch you want (projecting style will be easiest), you just need to mount it to a plate that you can attach the eject handles to.
Then add a hard stop to the plate so that a really strong pull won't result on the switch getting crushed.

You can also add die springs to the bolts that hold and guide the switch plate (5 to 19 pounds of compression each) to increase the amount of force required to pull the switch.

I'm quite fond of 22mm panel cutout switches myself. See Mcmaster-Carr catalog pages 858 and 859.
