On DG with the one piece canopy, the head rest is mounted on the canopy, and one can imagine the effect of the canopy flying forward into the back of the pilots head, I removed mine from the canopy for exactly this reason after reading a previous accident report.

To get the pilot out one needs to get that frame, and the shards of canopy, out of the way. FWIW UH
