Did you ever see anyone come back with a glove caught in the canopy?

Nope.

I recall a persistant rumor that you could go vertical and if you were fast
enough you could open the canopy a little and slam the thin glove in the seal
as you topped out. They called it the Clam Shell Club and said getting caught
was an automatic washout. I didn't believe it becuase the canopy blows off way
too easy and I didn't hear of any "canopy free" landings.
