Default emergency egress, sans 'chute?

I wouldn't rush to call them "guilty" w/o evidence that it's wrong. I exit my glider w/o the chute every flight. I can rotate the seat belt release in 1/2 a second. Releasing the chute takes almost a minute with gymnastic maneuvers, so I know there is zero chance of struggling to unfasten the chute before a bailout.
