Default BRS chutes. Why doesn't everyone use them?

I'd like the NOAH idea better if it was available as a mere "butt
raiser" which lifts the pilots rump up and forward a few inches. I
think just a little lift would make a huge difference in ease of
egress. Raising the pilot in a reclining position, as the current
NOAH unit does, only works with canopy mounted panels.


And pedestal mounted panels like the DG single seaters, and swivel
panels like the Ventus uses. Maybe not good with a Nimbus 3 canopy
mounted to the cockpit sills, and similar panels. Maybe they have a
version with limited inflation - worth asking.
