Not having read the report, I wonder:Â* As the canopy rotates upward and
aft about the Roeger hook, given the position of the headrest, does it
rotate forward and upward hitting the pilot in the back of the head?Â* It
would be interesting to simulate this on the ground with a few people
and a bunch of hands to insure no damage.

The DG/LS folks are really pushing the Roeger hook to prevent a DG canopy from smacking you in the back of the head by forcing the canopy to rotate at the rear and then up and out of the way.
