wrote: There are parachutes for static lines used in gliders (although less and less) and manual ones. To this whole discussion : - it's almost impossible to retrofit a BRS to a glider - that means that BRS will only be installed in gliders with a "crashworthy" cockpit - the only thing I'm really afraid of in soaring are midairs. Having a midair in the Alps in the vivinity of a ridge, a BRS is basically the only option to survive. Right on the spot. I have to admit that I'd prefer the Soteira system (a rocket that pulls the pilot out of the glider). There's a cause why ejection seats are used and not parachutes to save a complete B-52...
