Or maybe the deployed BRS catches another glider that was nearby,
enveloping the canopy and preventing that pilot from getting out.
You'd want to land safely under your own canopy so you could deal with
the lawyers representing the widow of the other pilot.

Ok, maybe a bit extreme, but has anyone advocating BRS in gliders
actually considered the risk of deploying one in a large gaggle. A
free falling pilot has, by default, cleared the air the personal chute
will deploy into. Not so with a BRS.
