Glider pilot rolls inverted and exits at 1400 feet AGL

This is all "Last Resort" stuff!

I can see a situation where you get sucked up into a Cu-Nim without gyros and lose control - as you accelerate through Vne and flutter starts, the negative g push technique will probably work pretty well - since you will be in a hi-G spiral with little chance to just roll out of the cockpit!

With a midair, who knows? If you are lucky your glider spits you out and all you have to do is pull the ripcord... but if your tail is chopped off or you lose a wing, all bets are off.

And the "lean forward and pull the ripcord" is an absolute last chance "die with your boots on" move. Good chance you will be severely banged up in the process, and it may not work if you hangup on the tail, but it would beat the option of riding the glider in, I would think...

Fun to think about, but I would rather not put it to the test. That's one of the reasons I have a PowerFlarm (and Dan has a transponder).
