We had this discussion awhile back and I think I still concur with a
suggestion from one of the contributors.  I think that I'm going to get
a small version of a fireman's axe and use that to chop my way out if I
have to.  The problem that I would have with kicking out the rear
windows is that I would never fit through the rear window anyway.  I
would need something that would allow me to chop through plexiglas and
fiberglass if I had to escape.  I'm going to have one that I can velcro
to the baggage compartment somewhere.  In addition, I'm going to invest
my money in a smoke hood and a good fire extinguisher.  I'll be a
regular flying fire department...hehe.
