Correct!

As for the rest, please bear in mind that is wasn't looking at
catastrophic structural failure where, of course, you're correct. OTOH I
was on about the situation where the only way out from *any* failure in a
Volocopter is to pop the BRS and pointing out that this is fatal if it
happens down in the death zone at a height from where a conventional
aircraft could usually glide or autorotate to a landing.
