I’ve always wondered what those lines are on the canopy. The Harrier has them as well. Are they det cord or something in case of a bail out?

For the Harrier, they are indeed explosives in the case of an ejection. However, ejection-seat based helicopters have not yet come into fruition...

Bailing out of a helo is bailing into the rotors.
