The previous posts under "Stay in, or get out?" raises questions about the
current state of ballistic recovery systems. As paraplegic, I have a
personal interest in BRS because thoughts of my successfully exiting an out
of control sailplane with a parachute, and then landing without the use of
my legs, conjure unpleasant thoughts. Although doable for a paraplegic, the
odds of a successful egress and injury free landing are certainly lower than
for an able-bodied pilot. For those reasons, BRS is for me a viable and
probably safer alternative.

I understand that no emergency egress solution is perfect for all scenarios;
they offer various means of risk management. However, I would appreciate
any information or thoughts concerning the effectiveness of BRS deployment
and if the current ground-impact energy absorption systems are proving
effective for pilot protection.

Thanks,
