Air Scooter a Farce???

Ben Hallert PP-ASEL Because a properly executed autorotation is a very controlled landing with g-forces no different than a normal landing. A BRS is not a landing but a controlled crash and by the looks of it there isn't a lot of airframe on that thing to absorb the energy of the crash. Also, you would somehow have to jettison the rotor, or else the rotor would snag the BRS lines.
