Why would the lack of autorotate make it a deathtrap if it has a BRS?

Because a properly executed autorotation is a very controlled landing with
g-forces no different than a normal landing.

A BRS is not a landing but a controlled crash and by the looks of it there
isn't a lot of airframe on that thing to absorb the energy of the crash.


Also, you would somehow have to jettison the rotor, or else the rotor
would snag the BRS lines.
