Or do the "Chicken Wing" thing with your arm and push it through. 

Just remember to unclip your drysuit hose and backup reg first. I 
did this yesterday to get back into an inflatable after a dive and it worked
great.

As Peter said, don't.  If loosening the harness does not work.  Ensure the
wings are not fully inflated as this removes the slack needed to get of the
them.  Secondly, an easy way out is to flip the entire rig over your head,
being careful to disconnect everything.  However, with a properly adjusted
harness a conventional doff will work.

I have just finish the Diving tests on my new Hardplate it works fine.
My only serious problem is ( try not to laugh ) that on the surface i
cannot get out of it. The inflated wings push slightly against my body
so the harness gets tight on me. I know is not DIR to install plastic
joins but i was thinking of installing only one at the side. Any ideas?

Manos.
