Any comments on static lines?

My S-H glider has an in cockpit attachment point for a static line.

I am interested in comments on bailing out in am emergency.
Not as interested in the captain obvious comments like "you could accidentally open your chute after a normal landing getting out of your glider". That is implicit and obvious.

Thoughts on actual emergency bailouts, static line versus regular D handle?

It is a good idea, it will be much faster. No one in the US, including me, knows much about them. Talk to the manufacturer both glider and parachute and your rigger there is more than one way to attach the static line. The only thing I would caution is when you review bailout procedures plan to pull the ripcord yourself, just in case you didn't clip on the static line on the day you need it. If it is hooked up it will be open before you have your head together.
