Last season, we had a release failure (broken cable)
in the front cockpit of a Blanik and the Instructor
was unable to release because he had tightened his
straps after doing the release check. Fortunately he
was able to slacken his belts before a serious problem
occured.

Was it his first flight in the back seat of a Blanik?
