Bds,
There might be more to it than slick marketing after all. Oh, I'm sure there is. It's just that the chute by itself doesn't make the plane safer, as the quoted marketing blurb alluded. It takes a pilot to do that. And pilots often don't do the right thing. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

Stefan,
At least, I tend to believe so, after having lost three friends in midairs (two events). Actually, that's the one situation the chute hasn't proven itself in yet. Nobody knows if it will even work after your average mid-air. But it's a hope, for sure. Still requires the pilot to pull, too. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |
