I’m guessing that maybe the take off
power thrust with a broken mount torsionally twisted
the fuselage enough to pop the canopy. My condolences to the bereaved
and to the homebuilding community. It sure looked good. don

speculation
Nice job with the photo. Look again
carefully at the spinner, the gap at the top and the apparent angle the spinner
is at laterally. To me, it not only looks excessively down but severely
cocked to the left. To me, the broken engine mount
speculation probability is raised along with consequent
uncontrolability.
Jeff's fly-the-airplane comments
notwithstanding, the canopy probably came open before takeoff and it is hard to
imagine why or how that was ignored.
