As a serious question, how do you bail out in a situation like this. Looking at the video the canopy was jetissoned very soon after impact, implying an early decision to bail out. But, what do you actually do? Stand on the seat and throw yourself over? I seem to remember reading that spitfire pilots would if they could turn inverted and fall out!
