Is it possible to bail out of a Legacy (or 360) with a forward hinged canopy?


Since an airframe parachute option is not an OPTION on a Legacy, he had two
other options that may have allowed him to survive:

1. Wear a personal parachute
2. Install a feathering prop

I have both of those options with my Legacy. The prop is counterweighted and
so will feather with loss of oil pressure.
