The system itself is brilliant - the only problem is dealing with the company that manufactures them, who are set in an old-world military mentality.
I don't think the canopy is an issue - the telescopic rod that is powered by explosive simply shatters the canopy; the droge chute at its end pulls out the parachute and the parachute pulls out the pilot. All within a 1/4 of a second.
It also works in extreme attitudes - in fact down to 150 feet inverted!
