	current state of ballistic recovery systems. As paraplegic, I have a personal interest in BRS because thoughts of my successfully exiting an out of control sailplane with a parachute, and then landing without the use of my legs, conjure unpleasant thoughts. Although doable for a paraplegic, the odds of a successful egress and injury free landing are certainly lower than for an able-bodied pilot. For those reasons, BRS is for me a viable and probably safer alternative. I understand that no emergency egress solution is perfect for all scenarios; they offer various means of risk management. However, I would appreciate any information or thoughts concerning the effectiveness of BRS deployment and if the current ground-impact energy absorption systems are proving effective for pilot protection. Thanks, Bryan  |
