Default Children in gliders?

How confident are you that the child can jettison the canopy and deploy the
parachute


Parachute? What parachute? Chutes are neither required nor common in two
seat gliders in the USA. They are fairly common in single seat gliders, but in
non-aero flights in airplanes they are virtually unheard of.

But I suppose that is a subject for another thread...
