Paul,
First off, the canopy didn't open. It was not closed prior to takeoff. Had a checklist been used (like a good pilot would do, of which I am not. I'm just lucky and have learned from my stupid mistakes of the past and those made by others.) the accident would not have happened. So for those of us who have Darwin moments; 'die, get hurt, shit themselfs, or get lucky.' Flying is very unforgiving if you don't follow some form of procedure. At which point you experience Darwinism; survival of the fittest!

Sent from my iPhone Do you mean that the people who have had a canopy open are somehow inferior and wlll be naturally removed because they aren't cut out to be pilots? Is that the meaning of your message? Or is that a canopy that can be opened is a way of selecting better pilots in this world. Please explain your Darwin comment to us. I really want to know how that works into the problem here.

PS: for the dolts who can't figure it out, there's another mode of canopy opening that won't be solved with a checklist on the ground. Think outside the cabin should be the first rule on this subject.
Remember, not everyone was meant to fly.... Darwin
