It's

not like you are going to test your BRS system for proper operation.


I thought about that, but I believe the BRS system will deploy with
near 100% assurance. At 76, I'm only 50% sure I could get out of a
stable aircraft and zero% sure I could make it out of a spinning
tumbling fur-ball. If for some reason the BRS deployed but didn't
inflate, I would/could be trying to go over the side and into the un-
inflated risers and canopy of the BRS..............grrrrr

I'd keep a chute around for two place flying. I think my days of
flying trainers for rides, bfrs, and instruction without a parachute
are over.
