You make a good point about escape training but there seems to be some doubt as to the ability of the crew to get the ( quite heavy ) Grob Tutor canopy open in the event of an emergency.

Rather than the hugely costly and payload restricting BRS device favoured by some contributors above would not a simple compressed gas driven canopy opening device with a sequenced inflatable seat cushion be far more practicable.
