Important that people know that so they try it if trapped. He is a lawyer and has no reason to bull**** about it. They were very lucky.

I don’t doubt you were told what you were told, but please look at the pictures at post #46 and the pictures of the aircraft on its back at William Creek, and tell me how it’s physically possible for any adult - big or small - to get out through the front windscreen.
