    A few months ago, I remember news footage of a GA midair in the states involving an aircraft with a ballistic chute system... unfortunately by the time it landed, the entire aircraft was destroyed by fire.
    The view of the burning craft slowly descending was shocking.

    Low level aerobatics may not leave time to bail out and open a chute. Its the ballistic deployment that saves you.
    Closest thing we have to an ejection seat. I friend of mine has a $100K new plane witch includes a $6K BRS chute. Really gives you a comfortable feeling having it there.
