Whats safer? what's easier or more convient to build? What are the pro's or con's of each?

I like the slider roll bar and that there is maybe a chance, maybe slight.....I could get out if I'm on my lid....

I like the tip for access to avionics....

Slider looks like it might be a pain in the a... To build... But it does look cool and probably is cool cracked during taxi....

Just curious has anyone ever had to leave,,,,,or left an RV in flight? Jumped? Would or should this even be considered in the slider versus tip debate?

Thanks!
 
There must be a section devoted to this topic.

Scroll down and look in the Never Ending Debate section...First topic.

As for leaving the plane in flight, doesn't the tip up have an option for an eject canopy handle/mechanism?
