This is my go to path out from under side control. You may think it's low percentage, but its not, and works very well against higher level players (moving fluently from elbow propping up the chest, to knee in, to submission, will keep you a 2 steps ahead of his knee on belly or mount counter). This is also a great transition into pyramid, williams, z, rubber, etc guards if you perfer re-guarding over submission attempts.
Key points:
To get elbow into the chest plate, use a body rotation of a strong cross face from your forearm while doing a hard pull down on his arm controlling bicep. With a bit of bridge/shrimp, it should tuck the sharp of your elbow into his diaphragm, leaving him weightless on top, and you hips completely free and mobile.
Arm bars: the knee you shrimp in should be as high as possible on his ribs, so that your shin is in his armpit, and your foot is trapping his rear shoulder. This will allow you to keep very tight knees on the finish. This will also allow you to keep him high enough off of your chest when going for the arm crush, creating enough space for an effective finish.
Inverted triangle: I find it nearly impossible to finish if I am NOT controlling the trapped arm, and pulling towards me. Keeping his hips away from me is also a Priority.
I hope you enjoy.
Either way, please let me know if you like it, hate it, think I'm annoying, or want to know why that horrible music was playing in the background.
Thanks.
