I was busy with other things at the same time I wrote it, so bear with me.

I remember back to the Cirrus airplanes that the pilots pulled the rip cord when they could have done other things. Like not flying in known icing, or just pulling because they were scared.

The first one was do to the fact that many of the kitfox's like to fly low, so that may not be feasable at all.

On my account, sometimes we loose reality when something happens and pulling the cord becomes a reality when we can do with out it.

Personally I feel flying the plane to the ground gives many options, more than pulling the cord, mainly because you don't know where you will end up, on top of a tree 150ft up, I think you get the picture.

If you do get a BRS, please go over in you mind the times that you will use it, and be very smart about it.
