I read about a RAF pilot whose Spitfire was hit by enemy fire, 1st attempt to bail he forgot to open the canopy, then he opened it and tried to get out again only to realise he'd not undone his harness, he got out on the 3rd attempt.

Some variation would be nice, it was almost impossible to get out of a spinning bomber unless you were right next to a hatch.
