Because of the role I play in my club, I think a lot about failure scenarios
and backups. If only the statistics for twins were better...laugh.

One scenario for the flying family is the incapacitated pilot. My
"solution" was to get my wife into PPL training. But would it not be
easier (and, perhaps even safer) to train someone to use a BRS?

I'm curious: has anyone trained a spouse (or other "frequent flying
companion") in chute operation for this purpose?
