I'd reinforce everything that 18Greens has said - especially the bit about moving the microphone (they don't like it up 'em and sound a bit muffled ever after :-) )
A cautionary tale from my more naive days. An Aerobatic trial lesson, a very "up for it" young lady, everything going well until quite suddenly she feels ill so we calm down and start to RTB. The bag is used and she then says she feels much better and could I show her one more loop while she holds the bag.
I discovered that bags aren't apparently designed for 4g when 1/2 full .
She also threw-up again before we could land.
Moral(s) of the story:
  • RTB when they start to feel ill,
  • don't believe them when they say they feel better,
  • always have at least 2 bags (I slide one under my thigh so I can find it in a hurry)
