BRS sounds good, but in practice I would prefer a personal chute every

time.

If you are in a midair 500 ft above the ground, a BRS will save you.

You'd
never make it trying to bail out with a personal chute.

A Personal Chute assumes you are still a going concern. A friend of mine
was hit by a piece of wreckage as he left the aircraft. Had he had a BRS he
would still be with us.
