But once you've
recovered, what's the next thing you think about? I know what I'd think
about: how did I get here? I had no warning I was about the lose
consciousness. It might happen again. I still won't have any warning.
What if it happens while I'm landing? The result would probably be fatal.
Wouldn't it make more sense to deploy the BRS while I am still conscious? I
don't trust myself to try to land the plane; for all I know, I'll be
unconscious in a matter of seconds, and I need to use those seconds in the
most productive way I can think of.

Well, he didn't indicate that these were the reasons for pulling the
chute. He indicated other reasons.

Yes, but after a moment's thought. Not after a fraction of a second.

First you complain that the guy thought about it? Then you complain that
someone might do it without thinking about it?

Again, I'm not "complaining" about what the pilot =did=. I'm commenting
on the downside of the BRS and the way it's supposed to be used. (and
he stated that he gave it a fraction of a second thought - I would give
it a moment's thought if I had already recovered... at least I hope I would)
