Which aircraft type was the accident in?

Ernie
Joe was flying his TsT-10 Motorglider (see
www.test.infoline.cz/us/tst-10.html). It appears to be his seventh
flight in that ship and he liked it a lot.

Joe had the factory-installed ballistic parachute option in his
glider. One of our club members (who is an engineer) suggested that
Joe might have survived by touching down with a lot of speed and then
deploying the ballistic parachute to use up the energy -- like a
dragster. I've never heard anyone talk about using a ballistic
parachutes in this way, but it makes sense.
