Ben,

 

 I notice the story did not say 601XL.  It just said Zodiac 601.  I just don't see how the canopy of a 601XL could come completely off.  It had to have been an early 601HD with the either side opening canopy.  If the instructor survived this incident, both should have.  I think it shows gross negligence on the part of the instructor if that student did not have his seat belt fastened.  I have personally been subject to that kind of incompetence, but that's a whole 'nother story.

Ben,

   

   I stand corrected.  It was indeed a 601XL.  The original story said that the canopy came off.  That is what threw me off.  The video shows clearly that the canopy did not come off.  However, I know for a fact that if an XL canopy becomes unlatched in cruise flight, it can open far enough for a person to fall out, and that it will put the airplane into a steep dive.
