It would remove the temptation to stay with the glider and try to save it. You pull the bung and float down on the BRS, rather than descend from 3000', have the tailplane part company with the fin at 1000' and bunt straight into the ground. And, before Mark claims that scenario is far fetched, it has already happened with fatal consequences. I would have a BRS if it was possible to retrofit one to my glider at a sensible price. snip...
