I used to forbid my students on the Bulldog to carry out PFLs over soft fields, due to concerns of the chances of ending up inverted on a substantially built canopy if the donk didn't pick up on the go-around.

After a couple of serious accidents the RAF retro-fitted their Bulldogs with escape hammers/belt cutters. TBH, I didn't rate these hammers very much.
