As you know, the Road to Hell is paved with good intentions. The wind hit
the
bag and it exploded before he could drop it. The back seat got a pretty
good
spray along with the side of the aircraft and (I assume) my friend. He
didn't
give me a lot of details but suggested I not try it myself.

Me? I pee out by the tail of the airplane right before I get in if I'm
out in
the sticks... in the FBO if I'm not. But I've never had a problem holding
it
all day long if necessary.

There are some pretty funny stories from sailplane pilots about this sort of
thing since soaring flights can easily exceed 5 hours or more. Not only is
it easy to exceed one's storage capacity, but getting rid of the cargo can
be difficult in the confines of a sailplane where you are usually "wearing"
the aircraft and are also semi-reclined.

One of my favorites was from a guy who used zip-lock baggies to urinate
into, which is not uncommon. He is one of the few who routinely used to
dispose of the bag in flight by way of the window vent. Well, one time he
threw the bag out and it hit the leading edge of the wing and exploded.
That wouldn't necessarily be all that bad except that this particular
sailplane had a nice naca type air inlet on the bottom surface of the wing
for the fresh air vent, which was routed so that it blew air on the pilot
from an outlet at the top of the panel. So, as he threw the bag out the
vent and it exploded against the leading edge of the wing he immediately got
a face full of his own urine. Nasty!
