Default Passengers manipulating controls

I know one pilot who disconnected the front seat canopy ejection handle in the front seat so that he would feel comfort letting the passenger pull the tow rope release. The handles were the same shape, just a different color and position.

No parachutes on board, so canopy ejection was not a valuable function.
