Depends a lot on details of regulation, and how safe ejection with parachute could be. My guess is that experiments would have been done during WW1, and fully deployment in WW2. Difficult to maintain regulatory paranoia when the cost in lives is so immediate.

In WW1 the parachute was not widely deployed yet. You were encouraged to try and return your broken plane instead.http://www.eastsussexww1.org.uk/dont-look-parachutes-first-world-war/ …

Are there notable instances of regulatory bodies blocking self-experimentation outside of the commons?

Or Domagk's discovery of sulfonamide drugs with the FDA looking over his shoulder. Tricky balance since it was elixir sulfonamide with DEG that killed more than 100 people and led to FDA clamping down (along with thalidomide).

Wow, great example! Notably, the "self-experimentation" (he tested it on his daughter) wasn't the problem, but the commercialization pressure (liquid formulation) was.

Off-track steam engines were highly regulated in Britain. Opposition came from lobbying of horse&carriage groups, an other reason might have been regular accidents involving several tons of hot steel and high-pressure steam moving at considerable velocity/exploding in urban areas

The resulting continuous decrease of flight accidents due to strict regulation sounds like progress to me.

What are examples of regulatory bodies that existed prior to the industry they were meant to regulate?
