Default Safety, yet again...

Frankly, I think the BRS is about the only innovative safety system out
there, and it's obvious why...


One has to wonder if perhaps it would be cheaper to just supply all of the
occupants in the aircraft with a parachute... Quick Google search brough up
prices anywhere from $900-$3000... Maybe for skydivers, the $3000 one might
give them a certain advantage, but I suspect the $900 one would be perfectly
good for getting your butt to the ground with minimal injuries... I'm just
not so sure about whether I can get out of the plane, deploy the chute and
survive from the 300 ft that the BRS chute claims is their minimum
activation altitude...
