I concur. The most difficult and time consuming part is the egress
from the glider, not the release of the straps. It is unlikely to be
able to bailout from a glider below 1000 feet. A BRS could be deployed
instantly even from 100 feet.

I wonder if you could have the red handle attached to an emergency release
pin on the gliders canopy, as in bubble clear thing over the top of the
cockpit. There could then be a line going from the bubble, to a release for
the seat safety harness, and the top of the parachute.

Jettisoning the bubble would carry the chute out in the slipstream to
inflate, which would then lift the pilot from the plane.

An idea, or just a poor idea? Sort of a poor man's ejection seat?
