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.


To revise and extend my remarks... (ie I hit the send button before I should
have)

Also there is the issue of where in the hell are they going to put the BRS?
Anywhere but on top of the mast will mean that the aircraft is going to have
to land in some way other than right side up.
