I have had the dubious pleasure of escaping an overturned aircraft. High wing taildragger we did the classic somersault.
Good thing is you can see it coming and so have time to brace and avoid any nasty bits. Bad thing is that obviously you end up hanging in the straps. Getting out was straight forward, open the door, arm raised as high as possible and open quick release. You fall less than a foot onto you outstretched arm and if you have used the correct arm, partly out of the door. That meant I was able to help the pilot out, switch things off etc.
At the time I had a bubble canopy aircraft and it certainly would not resist a kick delivered with the force you can summon in an incident (it broke when the side opening canopy hit the wing. Talking to a chap who inverted the same type he said the windscreen hoop was strong enough and there was room to squirm around and kick your way out.
It is a bit traumatic but a little bit of thinking goes a long way.
