After reading about the forced landing of a RV-9A in Marianna (another thread), I was wondering about the best procedure for unlatching (or not) the slider. It seems that the way the aircraft buckled in this event, the slider canopy would need to be forced open.

I realize that the pilot was complaining of back pains, but otherwise, would he have been able to extricate himself from the wreck? I can't imagine what would happen in case of a fire.
