Default BRS for emergencies

No, what I think this shows is that we can think up situations that
the BRS won't work for.

Parachute use seems to be associated with mid-airs or jammed
controls. The BRS seems capable of either of those situations.
Extreme conditions are not my biggest concern, since I am not doing
flight test.
