Occurrences were reported of Duo Discus and Nimbus sailplanes canopy opening during aerotow. The investigation concluded that the fuselage could be temporarily deformed due to forces related to acceleration. That deformation could allow the locking mechanism to move into the open position. In another occurrence, investigation could not conclude if the canopy was correctly locked, or remained unlocked, unnoticed by the crew (the handle in locked position but not connected with the fuselage pins).
