Scorpion - that is extremely interesting about deactivation of the pilot's canopy explosive bolts. In all my reading I have never come across that, and I don't believe it is mentioned in the various Pilot's Notes I've read. I am not disputing you, but it is just an interesting and suprising revelation. So with that said, what would be the consequences of ejecting using the leg handle rather than the face blind handles? Would your bone dome offer enough protection punching through the glass? I am assuming the seat would make the initial 'hole', but perhaps you can clarify.

Thanks for the oxy reg/pipe detail, sounds like quite a process moving around the cabin, and I damn sure would not want to try this in a hurry.
