Ejection from aircraft
It's too easy to eject from an aircraft......
Fighters - in order to eject you have to first open/eject the canopy before actually exiting the plane?
Bombers - if pilot is killed, the remaining crew can't leave. Have to eject for any member of the crew
I suggested a long time ago on the old pacific fighters website, that depending on damage to the aircraft, the canopy sticks & has to be released manually, like damaged landing gear has to be lowered manually. In some cases damage caused the canopies to jam & possibly not release so an element as to whether the canopy would open or not could be built in.
