Hi Roland

We tested a cutter/hammer on a scrap Europa door window and it broke it 
most satisfactorily.

that there is sufficient space between the door sill and the wing for escaping,
provided that one isn't seriously injured. But would it be possible to break
a big whole into the plexi glass with the hammer to escape? Any thoughts on
this? Of what other use is the hammer then? Only just a cutter for the seat 
belts
could be much lighter than that one which is combined with the hammer.

details from the similar accident in England, where the Pilot managed to escape,
