Hi Matt,

I think you are trying to insult me by calling me a mega liar, AKA a
politician. I will one up you and call you something worse: Matt you are
a "Hillary". Here's your sniper video, I mean your actual post in its 
entirety and the sections you quoted from it are curiously missing:

If I was going down...

In a Cessna or Piper, I'd crack open the door in a heartbeat (and we've
all been taught that), but in a Lancair, I'd think twice.

I agree that the canopy closed does offer more safety, especially if you
roll over, hopefully you won't get crushed,  but I do recall an accident
a few years back where 2 people burned alive inside a Lancair and
couldn't get out.  No one on the outside knew how to open the canopy and
by the time someone found a rock, it was too late.

This is one of the reasons of the new, easier latching system that could
easily be opened from the outside.

I guess whatever your gut tells you to do in those critical seconds, is
the right decision and hopefully you walk away.

Matt
