Let me know your gut feeling. I want to see if group intelligence
theory works. Thanks in advance!

I think that BRS's are a stupid addition to an aircraft on a number of
accounts.

they allow idiots to go to sleep on the consequences of their actions
and fly needlessly into danger in the belief that the brs will recover
from all mistakes.

aircraft structural engineering is a known methodology which can
produce structurally competent aircraft. There is absolutely no excuse
for bringing structurally doubtful ultralights into existence.

maintenance on aircraft is a known methodology and there is no excuse
for structural defects due to maintenance neglect.

deploying a BRS results in destruction of an aircraft.

deploying a BRS effectively removes the ability to control an aircraft
to a successful forced landing.

deploying a BRS can kill you. ask the people who discovered the
ultralighters that deployed their BRS for some unknown reason and both
died when it plonked them upside down into a field in australia

Cessna particularly have a history of engineering and producing
aircraft that can fly thousands of hours and survive for at least a
quarter century. Why would they ever need to put in a BRS???
