Or maybe he was making a joke. During Ozpin's speech in the The Shining Beacon Pt. 2 you can see a ton of students in the area. So many not shown in the launch with Ruby, which can lead to the idea (as stated previously by Takeshi) that students are being launched by the number of launch pads available, splitting the mass of students into groups all being thrown into the forest. Ruby, Yang and Weiss (along with the other characters we've met) may happen to be in the same launch group because they had speaking lines in this episode.
