Default Glider pilot rolls inverted and exits at 1400 feet AGL

The advice to use negative G forces to extract yourself from the glider is valuable, but be aware that if your instrument panel is fixed, your legs may become trapped and a bailout will be much more difficult and probably very painful. You could even suffer broken legs, which will make the parachute landing really awful.

Do what you have to do, but try to avoid leaving parts of yourself in the cockpit.
