If you have your head touching the canopy it cannot accelerate into the
canopy and hurt you. Sure it can. If you hit a 3 G negative acceleration, not uncommon in heavy ridge lift, the glider is accelerating down at 3G. Your head is trying to stay where in one postion spatially, so the result is a force against the canopy equal to the mass of your head times the G forces. The more dense your head, the higher the force! Jim Vincent N483SZ illspam
