Pushing the stick hard forward (assuming you still have some control) is one of the best advice I heard for exiting the cockpit. Probably something to add to mental bailout practices, as it may not be intuitive during bail out. Thanks Kirk for that advice.

I agree. I've never heard that advise before and it makes darn good sense. I've been doing 40 dips, 3 times a week to make sure that I have a fighting chance to get out of the cockpit. Pushing the stick forward sounds a heck of a lot easier than all those damn dips that I do.

what about the potential to injured your legs under the panel, or bang your head on the fuselage on the way out? no, i say climbing out is still probably the best way.
