That could have been much worse. The scary part to me was how fast it all went bad- hardly any time to react and kinda difficult to reach the sticks if you are on the other side of the cockpit. Lanyards, people, lanyards!

Coulda been a bikini top, but I think it was the rubber gasket from around the windshield.
